NOTHING GOOD COMES ON A SILVER PLATTER

When the going gets tough,you have to get tough in order to get going

I feel like im coming down with something very brutal.Time is flying so fast and for the first time a whole night seems like a minute to me.My days and nights are defined by constant reading in quest of learning something new and putting it into practice.

The learning experience at the Andela boot camp so far has not been a bed of roses.Infact,I am sure everyone would kill to have this opportunity but very few would endure the process of getting there.The tasks have me on edge and I have to meet the deadlines.Amidst all the challenges,I still appreciate a lot that come with the Self Learning Clinic.It has been both a fun learning and a character building experience.

I have learnt a lot that I wouldnt have,without the pressure.I have come to learn that when you add in pressure to deliver powerful and skillfully crafted code,it turns into a character building experience.

I have experienced sleepless nights, disappointments of having to redo a task from scratch and to be frank I have shed a lot tears. From not fully comprehending some challenging concepts that im expected to implement, to writing code only to realize halfway that i have made errors.I have continued to ask for guidance from teammates constantly to a point I have become a bother.This however,hasnt stopped me from asking for enquiries when stuck.

All these experiences have acted as building blocks for shaping me into an elite software developer.I have continued to appreciate the value of endurance, determination, self-motivation and productivity. I have learnt to value and appreciate any help I receive however little.In the same spirit,i have learnt to share the materials i have used for learning to help others too unconditionally.

With the sheer will and determination I have, not even is the sky nearly my limit!
