For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around computers. From getting home from school and watching YouTube to figuring out every setting I could change on my iPod, I have been fascinated with tinkering with all kinds of technology. My passion had grown to the point where I wanted to build my own computer, and I did just that. I spent hours researching and learning about the different components and how they worked together. I was so proud of myself when I finally got it to boot up for the first time. I was hooked. I knew that I wanted to work with computers for the rest of my life. I slowly started learning about coding and Software Engineering and it igninted a brand new fire in me. When I began attending college, I took my first Computer Science class and I couldn't stop thinking about how every piece of technology logically works. By the time I graduated high school, I was a few classes short of an Associate's Degree in Computer Science. I was so excited to continue my education and learn more about the field. However, during this time I started researching Coding Bootcamps and I was intrigued. I decided to take a leap of faith and enroll in a Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp at Coding Dojo. I was so excited to learn about the latest technologies and how to build full-stack applications. During the bootcamp, I enjoyed the team environment. I was not only able to work with other students and learn from them but also able to help others and learn from teaching them. This circular learning environment allowed me to grow and learn at an accelerated pace. By the end of the bootcamp, I had built multiple full-stack applications and graduated at the top of my class, earning a Triple Black Belt.
