Rosa's Story I learned a bit of coding from one university class, however it was a shallow experience and did not delve deeper into what coding could be. However, I developed an interest in coding and looked for ways to develop this skill. I had always thought that coding would be a tremendous challenge to undertake (as it involves a lot of critical-thinking and logical thinking) and I wouldn’t be able to learn to code unless I went to university again and got a degree in computer science or engineering. Then I saw SheCodes on social media, took the free 60-min class and really enjoyed every second of it. Matt is great at explaining and provided me with a great experience that got me excited to learn more about coding and eager to learn something new.
My wish is to become financially independent and secure my financial future for my family. Living in a third world country, you don’t have many opportunities in the job market and unemployment is high. Even more, the wages are very low and inflation plays a big detrimental role in this. Coding is a broad field with many areas of specialization and lots of new career prospects. As a versatile and emerging field, coding provides ample opportunity for growth and development of my career. I would also be honored to represent the percentage of women that are starting to enter the technological job market in my country. Likewise, I would be able to participate in projects that will help improve society and even help improve my own country.
I enjoy reading a good book in my bed. I like to do pencil drawings of animals and nature, I find that very soothing and helps me disconnect from everything. I don’t really like to go out to parties with loud music, but I do enjoy having a nice get-together with friends or family and cook a nice meal for them from one of the thousand recipes I have saved on my phone. I love to play with my pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). Both cats were rescued by my mom and myself.
