HABIBA JUMA’S STORY
I am Habiba Juma, I am passionate about computer programming and Business. I am current in Tunapanda Institute doing an apprenticeship program where I focus on programming and business, after undergoing three months of intensive training in tech, design, and business. I’ve also gone through a one-month intensive programming program in Moringa school of the coding, where I learned how to make dynamic websites among other programming related activities.
I’m a third born in a family of six, raised in a humble background where I learned that nothing comes easy if you don’t work to get it right. I’m a girl who believes that in anything I do I put God first and always believing in myself and believing that it can work. I’ve been raised by a strong intelligent lady who is experienced in life, my lovely grandmother. She is the type of lady who is always ready to stick by me, moulds and support me in everything I do.
At some point I used to feel and think of living without your own parents it’s difficult, but through my life with my grandmother, I have got all the love and care a child ever wanted. Despite not having my parents with me I used to feel sad and neglected at times when I was young but later wards I came to understand how nature works. She struggles with me provides education I require, despite sometimes she used to scratch her back harder for my fee. When am send back home from school she could do anything to make sure am at school, just to acquire the education she believed was the key to my life and yes it is.
My grandmother’s struggles became my motive in life, which makes me work smart for a woman of my own standards. I had to put much effort until I got a chance to pursue my dream, which is still working smart to make it work through well. Through the life that I have lived, I have grown to be stronger, determined, open-minded and patient unit where I am right now. From my life, I learned that no matter how many times you try or fall, one should never give up but rather stand up firm and start again. Just like a baby fall much time when standing but never gives up until the day he will stand firm.
Just like a journey of thousand miles starts with one step, I do have my own dreams and plans to chase. As I am passionate about coding and I started working on it, and also my goals in mind. I would like to be better in programming beautify my GitHub account through making different websites, apps, help people doing a different task in coding and collaborating with other people in coding. Nevertheless, I would like to expand my business and employee and create job opportunities for the people in my community. Also in five years to come, I would like to be the best coder and Harker in my country. My motto is always to fight to be a survivor and a winner but not or looser.
