Naina's Story I'm a first-year B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering student at LNCT Bhopal.I am currently a mentee at Codess.cafe and Infosys Springboard Pragati:Path to Future . As a first-year CSE student, my journey into coding actually started in an unexpected way during my high school days. I was always that kid who loved solving puzzles and playing strategy games, but I never thought about coding until I stumbled upon a YouTube video about making simple games. It was fascinating how a few lines of code could create something interactive! My passion lies in technology and software development, with a current focus on Python programming. I've been honing my skills by creating small projects and games . As I continue to expand my knowledge in Python, I'm eagerly anticipating diving into Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) to further strengthen my problem-solving skills.
"My motivation for learning to code with SheCodes stems from multiple factors. First, I was drawn to their mission of empowering women in technology, particularly their initiative to provide coding education to women in developing countries. The supportive, women-focused learning environment was a key factor in my decision. Being part of a community where fellow learners share tips and actively encourage each other's success has made the learning journey both enjoyable and meaningful. What I particularly value about SheCodes is their comprehensive approach to technology education. Beyond just teaching coding, they provide practical insights into product development, design, and management. Their hands-on, well-structured curriculum makes complex concepts accessible, especially for beginners like myself. The program's structure perfectly balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, allowing me to build real-world projects while learning. This practical experience has been invaluable in building my confidence as a budding developer. Most importantly, I see this as more than just learning to code โ it's about joining a movement that's working to close the gender gap in tech. Through SheCodes, I'm not just gaining technical skills; I'm becoming part of a larger community of women who are reshaping the future of technology."
"While coding is a significant part of my life, I believe in maintaining a balanced lifestyle through creative pursuits that help me unwind and express myself. Two of my greatest passions are painting and dancing, both of which I've been practicing since I was in 7th grade. Painting serves as my creative outlet, allowing me to translate my thoughts and emotions onto canvas. Whether I'm working with watercolors or acrylics, I find the process incredibly meditative. It's fascinating how this artistic pursuit actually complements my coding skills โ both require attention to detail, patience, and creative problem-solving. Dancing has been another constant in my life. It's not just a hobby but a form of self-expression that helps me stay active and energized. After long hours of coding and studying, dancing helps me refresh my mind and release any built-up stress. It's amazing how a few minutes of movement can completely shift my mood and restore my focus. One of my most cherished hobbies is spending quality time with my family. Our conversations, whether they're casual daily check-ins or deep discussions about life, provide me with a sense of grounding and emotional support. These moments of connection give me immense satisfaction and help maintain my mental well-being, especially during challenging academic periods. The combination of these activities โ the technical precision of coding, the creative freedom of painting, the physical expression of dance, and the emotional nurturing of family time โ creates a perfect balance in my life. Each hobby serves its unique purpose in helping me stay motivated, creative, and mentally refreshed
