I'm Tay, and I'm fairly new to the exciting world of tech. Although I may not be a seasoned expert just yet, I've already gained some valuable experience that I'm eager to build on. I can understand how challenging the past years has been for many people, myself included. Like you, I struggled to find my purpose during the pandemic, and it was a difficult time for me. I was overwhelmed with burnout from college, and I lost my motivation to complete my studies. At times, it felt like there was no escape from the reality of the world.
However, I found solace in video games and discovered freecodecamp.org, which changed my life. It was a turning point for me, and I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in tech. I joined a coding bootcamp in the fall of 2021 and faced many challenges along the way. But, I persevered, and I'm proud of what I've accomplished.
Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I lost touch with some of the skills I acquired. I took a break and returned to college as an online student studying computer science. It's been a great opportunity for me to revisit my skills and learn new programming languages.
I'm sharing my story with you because I want to inspire others who might be struggling to find their way. If you're feeling lost or stuck, know that you're not alone. We all have to start somewhere, and it's okay to take breaks and revisit our goals. I invite you to join me on my journey as I take on the 100 Days of Code challenge and document my progress as I dive back into full-stack development. I hope that my story can serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement for you.
Til next,
Tay
