I have been in this coding bootcamp for about a month already, and it is already VERY challenging! I find that this challenge correlates to many aspects of my life, or life in general, whenever someone is opening themselves up to something new. It is a lot like being back in school, and trust me, I was never good a being a student in school. Many of the obstacles I remember back then is coming up now, and it is like I’m re-learning how to learn and retain information. Definitely having trouble with being in the mindset of learning, especially when I have so many other “life” factors that I didn’t have to have in college.
I’ve been thinking about switching my career to Software Engineer for a long time. The obstacles that comes with it is daunting, and in the end, you may not even make it. Knowing the challenges and hardships that will come with learning Software Engineering without any prior knowledge is actually what pushes me to do it. I enjoy the challenge, and I think it is a wonderful area to be in today, with all the technological advances that is happening everyday. I hope that my success will make an impact on the world.
