Mya's Story My interest in coding began when I started exploring how technology shapes our daily lives. I’ve always been fascinated by the apps, websites, and digital tools we use, and I wondered how they were created. This curiosity led me to research coding and discover the endless possibilities it offers for building innovative solutions. The first time I truly experienced coding was through a simple project to create a basic website. While it was challenging, I enjoyed the process of solving problems and seeing my work come to life. That small success inspired me to dig deeper and explore the world of programming. What excites me most about coding is its potential to turn ideas into reality. Whether it’s creating a website, designing an app, or automating a process, coding offers a way to make things better, faster, or more accessible. Over time, I realized that coding is more than a skill—it’s a tool for creativity and innovation. This sparked a passion to learn more and challenge myself further. I want to continue this journey, expanding my knowledge and building projects that have a meaningful impact. Coding is not just a career choice; it’s a gateway to endless possibilities.

In my free time, I enjoy a mix of creative, relaxing, and engaging activities that keep me inspired and energized. One of my favorite hobbies is reading, especially novels and articles about technology, personal development, and different cultures. Reading helps me learn new things while broadening my perspective. I also love being creative, whether it’s through writing, sketching, or trying DIY projects. These activities allow me to express myself and unwind. Another passion of mine is exploring technology—playing around with apps, learning new tools, or watching tutorials about coding and design. It’s both fun and educational, as I enjoy figuring out how things work. When I want to recharge, I like spending time outdoors. Taking walks, enjoying nature, or doing light exercise helps me stay active and relaxed. I also enjoy connecting with friends and family over shared activities like cooking, watching movies, or playing games. Finally, I enjoy setting aside time to explore new hobbies, such as photography or learning a new skill. For me, hobbies are a great way to balance work and personal growth while staying curious and motivated.
