Oluwaseyi's Story My interest in coding sparked from a blend of curiosity and necessity. It started when I was exploring different career paths during my college years. I took a basic computer science course as an elective, and it opened my eyes to the logic and creativity involved in programming. I was intrigued by how lines of code could transform into functioning applications or websites, making technology more accessible. Beyond the classroom, I found myself increasingly drawn to tech-related projects. I started tinkering with website builders and content management systems, trying to customize my own blog. This hands-on experience showed me the power of coding firsthand—how a few tweaks could dramatically change the user experience or the aesthetics of a site. Additionally, seeing successful women in tech further fueled my interest. Their stories of overcoming challenges and innovating within the field inspired me to pursue coding more seriously. I realized that understanding coding could not only enhance my problem-solving skills but also give me the tools to create and innovate in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This combination of fascination and empowerment has kept my passion for coding alive and growing ever since.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a desire to expand my skill set and embrace new opportunities in the tech field. I've always been fascinated by technology and how it shapes our world, but coding felt like a daunting challenge. SheCodes presents a welcoming and supportive environment specifically designed for women, which is incredibly inspiring. The program’s hands-on approach and practical projects allow me to see tangible results from my efforts, making the learning process engaging and rewarding. I want to equip myself with the ability to build websites and applications, as I believe these skills can empower me to bring my ideas to life and potentially even lead to a career shift into tech. Moreover, I’m motivated by the community aspect of SheCodes. Connecting with like-minded individuals and sharing experiences fosters a sense of belonging that is vital in a predominantly male-dominated field. By learning to code, I not only enhance my professional prospects but also contribute to the representation of women in tech, which is a cause I’m passionate about. Ultimately, coding offers a powerful tool for creativity, problem-solving, and making a positive impact, and I’m excited to be on this journey.
I have a variety of hobbies that keep me engaged and help me unwind. One of my favorite activities is reading. I love diving into different genres, from fiction to non-fiction, as it allows me to explore new ideas and perspectives. Books often serve as a source of inspiration and creativity. I also enjoy outdoor activities, especially hiking and biking. Being in nature is refreshing, and it’s a great way to clear my mind while getting some exercise. There's something incredibly rewarding about reaching the top of a trail or discovering new scenic routes. In addition to that, I love experimenting in the kitchen. Trying out new recipes or creating my own dishes can be both fun and therapeutic. Cooking allows me to express my creativity, and sharing meals with friends and family is always a highlight. Lastly, I’m passionate about arts and crafts. Whether it’s painting, knitting, or DIY projects, working with my hands provides a satisfying outlet for creativity. I enjoy the process of making something tangible, and it’s a great way to relax and express myself. Overall, these hobbies not only keep me entertained but also help me grow and learn new things!
