1st week @ Flatiron School.
I'm beyond excited to say that I've gotten as far as being in a code boot camp!
Who am I?
My name is Valena and I'm on my way to becoming a full-stack web developer. A few months ago, I knew little- to nothing about coding. My boyfriend sent me a link to apply for a summer hackers program and I gave it some thought. I didn't get into the program, but it was that link that sort of opened my eyes to a whole new idea: learning to code. Since then, I've joined the Career Karma family and connected with so many people throughout the #21DayCkChallenge. The challenge helped me step out my introvert castle and actually get to know people. During the challenge, I started to learn the basics of Javascript, HTML, and CSS. I enjoyed learning to manipulate the DOM through the Flatiron pre-course so much that I still imagine the "Ada Lovelace" picture in my head. I thought I was so cool!
Fast forward to this week
Things started to get real for me once the first day of boot camp came around. I automatically got excited and really nervous. My mind instantly filled with positive snippets of the future (when I land a damn good job!), and doubts about whether or not I put too much dip on my chip. I'm a health science student. I know nothing about what I'm getting into besides what I'm researching and reading from pre-courses. I feel like it's more than feeling like I "don't belong".. I don't even feel that way. I feel as if all the odds are against me and the world is waiting for me to fail. This feeling is real! But I'm using it as a boost to prove those doubts to be wrong and to make myself proud.
