Growing up in the woods of a small colonial town, I had an interest in tech, but didn't quite have access to the help I needed to nuture my interests. So I drifted, I tried going into business and sales that's where I learned that career path can be rather soul sucking and dull. Learning that I didn't like that path I took the leap and decided to navigate the tech career path. I tested the waters on the hardware aspect of tech, but realized my interests lie in web development. Passion in mind I found Turing, states away, but a huge enough change to where the stakes are high!
Growing in the tech field is certainly much harder than I had imagined. Each week is a new struggle! But that feeling, when you finally grasp the concept and get your code implemented, it's utterly a-moo-zing! I know that the struggle will continue even past Turing, but I welcome the challenge. It keeps things exciting and new. It's great when I can find a new more efficient way to write my previous code. I look forward and onward to my future in tech.
Thinking about the path ahead, I'm excited for the lifestyle that generally comes with a career in tech. I'm excited to always be learning, to professionally and personally improve myself and others around me, to be proud of work that I have had to invest so much time in. I envision several steps in my 15 year plan, in which the end game will be to find a passion project that I can lose myself in. There will be bumps in the path ahead, but the skies look much clearer.
