This is alterine, another side character I created alongside the infamous Shiftine.

While me and Shiftine represent the orderness of the SYSTEM, alterine represented something else. For her, tech is not something that must be used to retain human rights, like us, but tech itself is a human right.

Well, how does the alt relate to my upcoming academic journey? Well, look at her shell. Hers is different. It represents something of a root shell, another sacred symbol of the command-line world. It’s no secret for the symbol to be a favorite across hacker communities, so we refer her unique community as simple as root.

So, after studying on how to be a great SYSTEM administrator, aka. building apps, services, networks and so, becoming a great product and project manager, and how to maintain them properly; I decided to study on how to become a Master of Cybersecurity, or in our words, a master of rootness.

So, in the future, I can claim myself as a root even though the programme may just be an additional SYSTEM education curriculum for masters to secure the SYSTEM, learning from the perspective of the trouble-making root is crucial.

Because well, the root roots.
