Yesterday, I officially passed the AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) exam !

It definitely wasn’t easy — at times, it felt like climbing a mountain blindfolded. Since English isn’t my first language, understanding all the small details in those long, tricky questions was tough. And to make things worse, I completely forgot to add the extra 30 minutes for non-native speakers. You can’t imagine how much I blamed myself for that mistake.

But in the end… I did it.

It was such an emotional roller coaster — nerves, frustration, hope, and finally, relief.

Now that this chapter is done, I’m going to take a short break before starting my next goal: the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) in 2026.
