I stumbled upon my passion for coding late in life, and I've been falling for it ever since. I had an interest in coding, but I wasn't sure where to begin. I joined Codecademy and worked my way through their Computer Science Path. That's where I had my first encounter with Python and programming languages. I dreamt in for-loops and object-oriented programming; then, I created my first text-based game. I delved into SQL and created my Personal Library Database. I learned binary, octal, and hexadecimal conversion, and through this skill, discovered I enjoy learning about algorithms.

Currently, I'm growing my skill base through MITxPro's Full Stack Coding Bootcamp. JavaScript has become my best friend and the bane of my existence. Git has helped me organize my life in ways I didn't know I needed. My abilities in frontend programming have bloomed through this course, and I look forward to learning more backend programming in the coming weeks. The most exciting part of discovering this passion is that there is always more to learn.
