I was lost but then I was found

Hello, World!

Sorry for the lack of post, my social media anxiety still gets to me and puts me off from writing a post about my progression. Nevertheless, here is what I have been up to as of lately.

I started to learn python first through a YouTube tutorial by FreeCodeCamp then moved onto Automate the Boring Stuff (ABS). Ironically, ABS got too boring for me as I have already learned the basics through FreeCodeCamp. The motivation began to decline. I was down but not out.

As a millennial, I began to scour the internet for memes. I stumbled upon Subtle Asian Leftovers (SAL) on Facebook and browsed their page. I stumbled upon Facebook’s mentorship section of SAL’s page. I found a few people who were willing to be mentors and I sent a quick message to numerous mentors with coding experience. Most of them ignored my messages and one bluntly gave me resources. One of the many mentors I have messaged accepted my plea and gave me some guidance. My mentor is a software developer in the west coast of North America who learned to code through a boot camp. No matter how many questions I had, they happily answered them all for me.

My mentor suggested project-based learning and asked me what were my interest and base my projects on them. After out discussion, they said that based on my project ideas, I would be more suited as a front-end developer. they told me that I should learn JavaScript on Udemy (they even found me a sweet deal!).

After a few lessons on JavaScript, I fell in love with the language. For me, it was easy to grasp. So I have embarked on the adventure to learn JavaScript.
