I participated in Div.2 last night and finally earned a 2000+ rating points for myself. The first time I reached 2000, I want to say thank you to CodeForces again, just like when I first entered CodeForces. (Unfortunately, that post has already been deleted)
CF is such a great platform, although its competition time is not very friendly in East Asia (we usually need to stay up late), I still enjoy the process of learning and competing on CF. I have gained a lot of knowledge and made some friends through communication on CF. I have grown from a Newbie to the current Candidate Master (maybe becoming a Master in a while? I think I am currently at this level). Lot things to remember.
I remember I have rose from Pupil to Specialist twice and from Specialist to Expert six times (because I fell off again after going up). I hope that in the future, I can maintain my level more stably and reduce the occurrence of such situations.
Rating is just a number. My strength has grown, that's the most important thing. As a contestant, I can be more calm and persistent than before. Even if I don't compete anymore, this quality will still accompany me, and I have no regrets.
Now as I wrote in that earlier deleted post,
Hello, Codeforces, I am Amao_Fox, awa! This is the algorithm competition. I'm getting started.
