I think the project is important and beneficial for the community because porting to Python 3 means getting more support from the Python community. It's important to keep up with the updates Python receives to ease maintenance tasks in the future and prevent compatibility issues.

Getting stuck means I have already put my efforts to solve some problem. Yes, the mentors are there to guide us, but in such a case, rather than keep waiting, without hesitating, I'll ask out the problem on IRC, mailing list of this sweet community. And if it's a technical problem, can be put on some other relevant places to get out of there. If even then the problem presists, I'll do reverse checking.

===== A great learning experience as a child: =====

* Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.

There are many but a great learning experience is from my 5th standard, when I didn't have a PC. I never left a chance to use paint on my cousin's system. I used to open already saved files and look into details. Learning from there, I taught my friends in school. It was probably the time when they started coming to get some piece of art/drawing on their notebooks and I loved making it for them. I believe this is the reason for what I'm today.

I would like to tell that firstly it was the name "Sugar-Labs" that grabbed my attention and secondly the teams page. And I couldn't stop myself to look inside. Yes, it was the first community I opened and the first love that didn't let me search for any other organisation. I also have a past experience in logo-designing and here is one of the logo that I designed for a recent project for web development agency- Agaaz. The basic idea was to describe the name "Eye Groom" while portraying the idea opticals.
