Lungelo's Story My interest in coding began when I saw my cousin working on a project from home. Watching them write lines of code that transformed into a functional program fascinated me and made me realize the power of technology. That moment sparked my curiosity, and I started exploring how coding works and how I could learn it myself. Beyond my personal inspiration, I also recognize that the world is rapidly going digital. Almost every industry now relies on technology, and coding has become an essential skill for the future. I want to be part of this digital revolution, not just as a consumer but as a creator—building solutions, innovating, and contributing to the tech space. Learning to code is more than just a skill for me; it’s an opportunity to secure a future in a growing industry, gain financial independence, and be part of a global movement shaping the future.
My motivation for learning how to code stems from a moment of pure inspiration. I once watched my cousin work on a coding project from home, and I was completely fascinated by how lines of code could build something functional and impactful. That experience sparked my curiosity, leading me to explore the world of coding. Since then, I’ve been searching for the right platform that not only teaches me how to code but also provides a recognized qualification and real-world skills to secure a job in tech. Coming from a country where unemployment rates are high, I see coding as more than just a skill—it’s an opportunity to create a stable and promising future. I want to break barriers, upskill myself, and be part of the growing digital economy. SheCodes stands out as the perfect place to turn my passion into a profession, equipping me with industry-relevant knowledge and hands-on experience. I am eager to learn, grow, and eventually use my coding skills to make a difference in my life and my community.
I love to sing just to unwind, enjoying soulful music, chatting with friends, and binge watching series or South African telenovelas on DSTV.
