Russkaja - Hey Road
Tell me what you’ve got today for me to see
Hey road, play for me
Yes I live this motor running symphony
Anybody ever heard’bout this feeling
Seems like they’re running from the pain
You’re running and running and running and running
You run run run away
You can try, but you can’t hide from fate
I’m driving down this road, so long
Life is just the journey we take
I’m driving down this road, so long
To a brand new day
Wont’cha come my way
We got lost just to find another path
We refuse to conform
Yes we did everything just to escape the norm
You can try, but you can’t hide from fate
Life is just the journey we take
I’m driving down this road, so long
To a brand new day
Wont’cha come my way
Life is just the journey we take
I’m driving down this road, so long
To a brand new day
Life is just the journey we take
I’m driving down this road, so long
To a brand new day
Wont’cha come my way
My past
Life it's just the journey we take...
I was born in 2004 in Ivanovo, Russia, and fate led me to be adopted by Marina Barnola Gasch in 2006. The first years were relatively calm until, in 2011, the bullying calvary began. Every year, until 2019, I fought against that shadow that invaded my existence. The burden of the cruelty of others became increasingly difficult to bear, leaving invisible but deeply painful scars.
Despite that personal hell, my interest in computer technology gave me a way out. Since 2010, when I discovered this digital world, I have started thinking about a different future. Ethical hacking, gradually discovered through platforms like TryHackMe and HackTheBox, became a light in the darkness of my day-to-day life. I plunged into self-taught studies, thoroughly investigating issues of cybersecurity and ethical piracy.
2021 was a turning point. I embraced my true passion and headed for a career in cybersecurity. However, the internal struggle did not end here. The emotional weight of the past remained a constant burden. In its darkest moments, he even sees suicide as a way of ending the pain that tortured me. But, somewhere within me, I found the strength to move forward, clinging to the hope of a better future.
The road to professional achievement will be twisty. With every step towards certain goals, such as the Certificate of Ethical Hacker (CEH), there will be a constant internal struggle. But I will persevere. From the nearly possible future jobs as a system and network administrator to future roles as a cybersecurity professional in renowned organizations, each goal achieved will be a victory over the demons from the past.
My experience in Ethical Hacking
My passion for computing turned into an obsession when I discovered the world of hacking. Since 2010, when I first walked that ground, there has been no retreat. I plunged into platforms like TryHackMe and HackTheBox, devouring all the information available about cyber security and ethical hacking.
Hacking was not just a technical skill for me, but a form of expression, a way of understanding the world through its security holes and vulnerabilities. In 2017, I started serious self-taught studies, testing myself through cyber security challenges and projects.
As my technical skills became stronger, my desire to become a cybersecurity professional was also stronger. In 2021, it marked a turning point when I decided to fully embrace this passion and pursue certain goals, such as the Certificate of Ethical Hacker (CEH).
From my early jobs as a system and network administrator to my future roles as a cybersecurity professional in renowned organizations, every step on that path brought me closer to my final goal. Perseverance and dedication were my allies on that journey to a career in cybersecurity.
