1. On a website what is the purpose of HTML code?

It describes the structure of pages.

2. What is the difference between an element and a tag?

Elements are the characters enclosed by the tags. Elements tell the browsers something about the information that sits between its opening and closing tag. elements=action tag=proper structure of action. Elements describe the structure of the pages and tags act like containers.

3. Why do we use attributes in HTML elements?

1. Learning Fluency by Turing alum Sara Simon (30 min)

Your key take-aways OR how you're going to implement specific points (minimum 3):
Learning to code has much less to do with a prior knowledge or history with computer science and more to do with dedication and immersion. Much like learning a foriegn language, coding is about the discipline to push though and figure out a way to understand and/or be able to communicate your misunderstanding to those who can help.

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy plays a major role in my life as a wife, as a friend, and as a bartender. Empathy helps to to both improve and maintain every relationship in my life. Part of being in a successful relationship with any person is practicing active listening which is something I aim to practice every day. Even the answers to the smallest question of "how was your day?" can bring larger perspective on how someone is feeling. I could either take the answer "fine" at face value, or I could put emotional empathy and active listening to practice and disect the emotional tone of the answer. These tools allow me to understand not only how someone is feeling but why.

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength at this point in time is my emotionally intelligence. It allows me to make decisions based on how they will affect my happiness and quality of life. I know that this is my greatest strength because my self-awareness at this point in my life allowed me to take a leap and leave my current career to pursue something that I believe will bring me greater hapiness and purpose.

How do you work best?

I work best as a part of a group. I feel that open discussion and bouncing ideas off of others is how I gain a more comprehensive understanding of the lesson at hand. When I read or learn a concept for the first time my views on how they should be applied are very textbook. It is when discussion with others and instruction are introduced that I become confident in my understanding of these new concepts.

What is your greatest area of improvement?

I aim to improve my confidence over the next seven months. Self-doubt and indeci

There are many benefits to using markdown in Git!

It makes your submissions easier to read and understand.
It seperates questions and answers clearly to avoid confusion.
It looks so much nicer.

To create Headings is easy!

Just like in html you can create headings 1-6. Instead of <h1> etc... you use the hash symbol up to 6 times depending of the size you would like.
