I am a 10th grader in a dual enrollment program for IT. I am interested in becoming a software developer in the future. I am rather decent at using technology, and I learn more everyday. However, I am rather lacking in other skills. I am a large introvert and typically don't talk to people I don't already know, I find teamwok more difficult than working alone, and I admittedly could have a better work ethic. I tend to procrastinate a lot. Despite these setbacks, I am ready and willing to learn and get better at these skills to better do the thing I am passionate about. I would find it helpful to get some advice from experienced professionals on the topic.

How far am I to get a software developer/DevOpt internship or job?
I am currently a master student studying IT in Australia, I switched my career from Retail to IT just because I can see myself with curiosity to know and learn coding. During the study, I set a goal to be a software engineer or a DevOpt engineer. I am now at my second last semester before graduate, I studied Front-end development myself before starting the master, and I kept working on self project to practice the knowledge I've leant in school, like building web application (here is one of them: https://www.freelancer-daily-scheduler.site/) using AWS cloud services. However, I always feel like I still have a lot to learn until I can get an intern/job. Sometime I even saw people spending a long time on Leetcode, and I have a feeling like no matter how much hard work I inputed, I am still far from only passing the job interview, and I am not even sure if I can perform better then other students who studied programming since their bachelor. Really need someone to share advice on this.
