In our daily life we meet challenges some are easy to deal with other are a little I can say hard for one to pass through. Andela bootcamp has been one of those special challenges you overcome only by sweating a lot .

I was motivated so much when I was applying for Andela fellowship it was one of those opportunity that comes once in your life which can help you achieve your dreams easily since my dream was to become one day a world class developer. Andela was the savior for me to achieve that dream in my opinion.

Making it into the bootcamp was quiet something special it was my first attending such kind of events . The first week was very demanding between working on the developer challenge and implementing feedbacks from our LFAs to writing blog posts it was something on another level that i hadn’t faced before in my path of world class developer aspirant, I learned new tools and technologies which extended my knowledge as a developer and they were very helpful in increasing my productivity.

If you want to keep with every daily stress you have to be able to adapt yourself to every situation you encounter. I adapted very well and quickly to the extensive demand of the bootcamp.

Before I heard about APIs but I hadn’t used them in any project i had worked on before. i learned them while i was doing challenge 1 and 2. I adapted quickly to learning new stuff by working on them and implementing them.I must admit it was something funny i had to meet new errors that i hadn’t seen before and had to figure out where the bug is coming from some days i would find my sleeping only four hours it was really demanding but in life all the things don’t come easily you have to work hard for them.

I learned many thing in this bootcamp and adapt to the situation i was always brought to face but most of all it was a wonderful experience I got the chance to live and am thankful for that.

Thanks for reading.
