Sahar 's Story My interest in coding began in high school when I took an introductory computer science class. I was immediately captivated by the logic and creativity involved in programming. The thrill of solving puzzles and building simple games sparked a desire to learn more. I remember spending hours experimenting with different coding languages, fascinated by how a few lines of code could create something interactive and engaging. As I delved deeper, I discovered online resources and communities that further fueled my passion. Participating in coding challenges and collaborating on projects with peers opened my eyes to the collaborative nature of technology. I was particularly drawn to the idea of using code to solve real-world problems, whether through developing apps that improve daily tasks or creating websites that connect people. Additionally, witnessing the impact of technology on various industries inspired me to pursue coding seriously. I realized that coding was not just a skill but a means to innovate and make a difference. This realization motivated me to seek out workshops and boot camps, where I could refine my skills and connect with like-minded individuals. The journey has been incredibly rewarding, and my passion for coding continues to grow as I explore new technologies and applications.
My motivation for coding stems from a deep-seated curiosity and a desire to solve problems creatively. Coding is a powerful tool that enables individuals to bring ideas to life, automate tasks, and improve efficiency. The ability to create applications or websites that can impact users positively is incredibly fulfilling. Each line of code represents a step toward building something meaningful, whether it's a simple tool or a complex system. SheCodes, in particular, resonates with me because it focuses on empowering women in tech. The initiative addresses the gender gap in the tech industry by providing women with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in coding. It fosters a supportive community where learners can collaborate, share their experiences, and inspire one another. I believe that diversity in tech leads to richer ideas and innovative solutions. Participating in SheCodes not only enhances technical skills but also cultivates a sense of belonging. It encourages women to take on leadership roles and advocate for themselves in a traditionally male-dominated field. Ultimately, coding is not just about writing code; it's about creating opportunities and driving change, and programs like SheCodes play a vital role in that journey.
I enjoy reading fiction and exploring new genres, as well as hiking in nature to unwind. I love experimenting with cooking and trying out new recipes. Additionally, I often engage in creative writing and participate in coding challenges, blending my interests in technology and storytelling for fun.
