when i started this venture to learn how to program i honestly didn’t why i had even chosen this path. But moving forward i have learnt to appreciate so many things about programming. First and foremost, programming has taught me to think out of the box. With the previous challenge that i received from the Andela women’s initiative program i found myself pushing forward to learn new things. I did alot of online reading and eventually i had mastered a couple of things.

In addition to that, programming has taught me to work with others. Whenever i get stuck i always ask my colleagues to come through and help me out and in so doing i get to solve my problems in time and they also pinch in new ideas for me.

In conclusion, just as Steve Jobs once said: “I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think”. Whether you want to improve your job prospects, or just want to understand more about how computers work, learning a programming language is a great way to improve your skillset.
