Sharon's Story My interest in coding was sparked during my teenage years when I began exploring various online platforms and noticed how integral technology is to our daily lives. The idea that a few lines of code could create interactive websites, useful apps, or even complex systems fascinated me. However, it wasn't until I started working in customer service and retail that I truly saw the potential of coding. I observed how technology could streamline operations, improve customer experiences, and solve logistical challenges. This realization prompted me to delve deeper into the world of coding. The more I learned, the more I was captivated by the endless possibilities that coding offered. My curiosity grew as I discovered communities of like-minded individuals who shared their knowledge and experiences, further fueling my passion. The idea of being able to create something impactful from scratch and continuously learn new skills is what keeps me motivated. Coding, to me, is not just a technical skill but a creative outlet that enables innovation and problem-solving. I am eager to begin learning and growing in this field.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is driven by my desire to improve my job skills and open up new career opportunities. As a 21-year-old female who has worked in customer service and retail, I understand the importance of versatility in today's job market. Coding offers a pathway to a wide array of industries, from tech to finance, and enhances my ability to problem-solve and think critically.

Ultimately, my motivation stems from a deep-seated desire to grow both personally and professionally, ensuring that I can navigate and thrive in an increasingly digital world.
In my free time, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that allow me to relax and express my creativity. One of my favorite activities is reading, particularly novels and articles on personal development and technology. Reading helps me expand my knowledge and provides a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Additionally, I have a passion for photography. Capturing moments and turning them into visual stories is something I find incredibly fulfilling. It allows me to see the world from different perspectives and appreciate the beauty in everyday things. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking, going for a walk, or simply enjoying nature. These activities help me stay active and provide a sense of peace and tranquility. Another hobby I am passionate about is cooking. Experimenting with new recipes and flavors is not only fun but also a great way to unwind and explore different cultures through food. Lastly, I like to stay connected with my friends and family, whether it's through social media, video calls, or in-person gatherings. Building and maintaining these relationships is important to me, and it brings joy and balance to my life.
