Gugu's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized how powerful it is in shaping the world around us. Growing up, I was always fascinated by how websites and apps worked, but I never understood the magic behind them. One day, a friend introduced me to basic HTML, and I was amazed at how simple lines of code could create something visible on a screen. That curiosity led me to explore other programming languages like Python and JavaScript, where I discovered the creative side of coding—building tools, automating tasks, and solving real-world problems. I loved how coding combined logic with creativity, offering endless possibilities to bring ideas to life. What truly solidified my passion was working on a small project that helped a local community. Seeing how a few lines of code could make a meaningful impact inspired me to dive deeper into the world of programming. Coding became more than just a skill; it turned into a way to innovate, connect, and create.
"My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is to develop valuable technical skills that can open up new career opportunities. I want to enhance my ability to solve problems creatively, build projects that make an impact in my community, and gain digital independence.
