Electricity issues

Adjust for me to sit down, I pleaded with the Bet Naija manager, almost crying. He looked at me like some lost fool wondering what could be so pressing that made me want electricity so badly.

The date was Thursday, 24th of August 2017 and I was supposed to submit my Andela “challenge one” output on Monday. I had done only a single page since getting the questions and guidelines on Tuesday. We were required to do about 6 pages of front-end html pages of web application. I was really overwhelmed not just from the enormous resources and new technologies I had to read up and master in such limited time as I had started programming some few months ago. In addition, there had been no power since that week’s Monday and I had to spend so much money buying fuel that never seemed to be enough.

Improvement

However all this has made me not just a better programmer but a better person in just a week. I have learnt non software related skills like time-management, perseverance, growth mindset, collaboration and believing there’s no limit to what I can achieve. I like bootcamp and I love Andela because they have made me better.
