Charisma's Story My journey into the world of coding began unexpectedly when my sister recognized my desire for a career change. As I sought a job that would allow me to earn income while cherishing quality moments with my family, she introduced me to the realm of programming. This sparked a curiosity within me that I thought I had lost since my high school days. Through her encouragement, I started exploring the basics of coding—languages like Python and JavaScript fascinated me with their logic and creativity. The thrill of crafting solutions to problems reignited my passion. I found that coding wasn't just about writing lines of text; it was a means of expression and innovation, a way to build and create in the digital space. The ability to design websites and automate tasks seemed both empowering and liberating. As I delved deeper, I appreciated how coding could open doors to flexible job opportunities, giving me the chance to balance work and family life. This blend of practicality and passion made me realize that my initial spark of interest could lead to a fulfilling career. Thanks to my sister's nudge, I am now embarking on a journey that promises not only personal growth but also the time to be present with loved ones.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a combination of personal and professional aspirations. As my family prepares for relocation due to my husband's job, I realize the importance of expanding my skill set to adapt to new opportunities. Learning to code will not only enhance my CV but also widen my job search, making me a more competitive candidate in today’s digital landscape. Having programming skills is an asset that is increasingly in demand, and I am eager to acquire this scarce skill to elevate my career prospects. I aim to secure a position that provides financial stability and the flexibility to support my family's needs during this transition. SheCodes offers a structured and supportive environment, which I believe will empower me to develop these essential skills effectively. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a better quality of life for my family. By mastering coding, I seek to carve out a pathway that allows for career progression and security, ensuring that I can contribute to our family's financial well-being even amidst changes and challenges. This journey with SheCodes is a critical step toward achieving that vision.
In my leisure time, I enjoy cooking, which allows me to explore my culinary creativity while bringing family together at the dining table. I also share a passion for 3D printing with my husband, where we collaborate on projects that blend technology and creativity, making our own unique designs.
