Ruth's Story I've always been fascinated by technology and problem-solving. Growing up, I was that kid who took apart and reassembled gadgets to figure out how they worked. My interest in coding started in high school when I stumbled upon a coding club. I was intrigued by the idea of creating something from scratch using just a few lines of code. Our club leader taught us the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I was hooked! I spent hours coding, experimenting, and building small projects. I loved the feeling of bringing my ideas to life and seeing the impact it had on others. From there, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in tech. In college, I delved deeper into computer science, exploring programming languages like Python, Java, and C++. I worked on personal projects, contributed to open-source initiatives, and collaborated with fellow coders. Now, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with others, helping them navigate the world of coding and technology. It's amazing to see how code can transform lives and create new opportunities!
I've always been drawn to the world of tech and innovation, and I believe that coding is a superpower that can unlock endless possibilities. My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is to gain the skills and confidence to pursue a career in tech. I want to be able to build solutions that make a real difference in people's lives, whether it's through creating accessible healthcare platforms, developing sustainable environmental tools, or designing inclusive educational resources. I'm particularly inspired by the SheCodes community because of its emphasis on supporting and empowering women in tech. As a woman in a male-dominated field, I've often felt intimidated or unsure of my place. But with SheCodes, I feel like I've found a tribe of like-minded individuals who understand my struggles and are cheering me on every step of the way. Through SheCodes, I hope to gain not only technical skills but also the courage and resilience to break down barriers and push boundaries in the tech industry. I'm eager to connect with fellow coders, learn from their experiences, and contribute my own unique perspective to the community. Ultimately, my goal is to become a proficient coder who can create positive impact, inspire others, and show the world what's possible when women in tech come together to support and uplift each other!
