One…Two…Three…..Breathe!
I did have a nervous breakdown yesterday . The tests got to me . I got to a point I felt lost . Even the little knowledge I had about python its like it evaporated . I forgot everything . A lot coming at me at the same time from all directions . At one moment I considered “ abandoning (1)ship “because I didn’t feel like I was ready enough .
Decided to seek advice from my facilitator and she gave me the best advice : The point is not to learn everything . The point is to challenge yourself and be willing to grow quickly . That gave me gas to keep pushing . I shouldn’t compare my level to the rest of the team ; some have even been coding for years . This is my journey . Today was a little better . I have fallen behind on the Labs & self-learning . I had one goal only , to learn something new and at least submit one Lab . So I spent most of the day going through codeacademy.com to absorb as much basics as I could . Only issue with codeacademy is that it doesn’t explain the “ why “ . I love understanding the bare bones of concepts so that I don’t clutch onto tutorials every time I want to do anything , or worse , guess . So with the short amount of time I’m proud of what I did today .
