Sheryl's Story My interest in coding began when I was intrigued by how technology could address challenges and make life better for people every day. Coming from a small town with no access to resources made me wonder about the origins of the apps and websites I used regularly. This curiosity fueled my passion to delve deeper into the world of coding and its role in driving creativity and innovation. Technology has always fascinated me for its ability to bring people together and open up possibilities in different regions of the world. I view coding as a game changer in tackling problems and turning concepts into reality. Learning to code with SheCodes would be a transformative step in my journey to turn this curiosity into practical skills that I can use to make a meaningful impact.

Learning to code through SheCodes is something I'm truly excited about as it resonates with my love for technology and my aspirations for a thriving career in software engineering. As the oldest sibling in my family, I feel a responsibility to lead by example for my siblings and contribute to bettering my family's circumstances. I view coding not only as a skill but as a bridge that connects my past to the future I envision building. As a first generation student hailing from a humble background, I have witnessed firsthand the power of technology in changing lives and opening up new opportunities. SheCodes provides a setting for women in the tech industry, I'm thrilled to be part of a community where I can develop my skills and knowledge and make a positive difference with what I learn in the future. I aim to apply my knowledge to assist projects that help my community and encourage young women to explore opportunities in the tech field.
