| Why are you here? Consider describing: | |

| I am Aidan McKay. Turing is a place for growth, not only as a developer but as a human being. In a technical standpoint, I've seen improvment but that is to be expected but I've noticed that it is easier to open up to classmates and even to other cohort members. I definitely wouldn't have thought I would do that considering I don't really like people or being in those types of situations. Overall I think this is a great skill to have and to maintain. I know that once it isn't necessary for class it'll be harder to practice but I do see the importance in it. I have struggled every week. Whether that struggle is small or large, I have experienced it. It is frustrating to be completely honest. I want to just learn how something works and implement it when I want and I wanna be able to understand where it can go in a more complex state but it takes more work than that for me. Succeeding comes hand in hand with the struggles. Even if they're small successses, they're still successes and I try to remember that. After turing, I want to be able to find a job that I love doing in the tech industry. The only thing is that I don't know companies so I don't know who would align with me and my morals. I just know that I want to look forward to going to work everyday. Hopefully that job turns into a career as well. | |
| Understanding how to tell stories is a great first step for me. I just feel like my story above doesn't flow well so it probably doesn't have a great following. Practice telling my story. Recieving feedback about how to improve |

This is a good starting point for telling your story; I would also encourage you to practice talking about yourself in different contexts to see what details stick with you.
