How becoming a programmer has changed my life.

The Beginning

I was just a normal person like everyone else doing well in school Acing most of my subjects. Life was going great till I won a laptop in my school on my Graduation for being the Best Overall Student it was fun for finally being recognised. “Hard Work Pays”.

How it all Changed

When I won a laptop my father saw the immediate need to get me learning Coding, I will forever thank him for that. He hired a coding teacher by name Sixtus Nnamdi, he taught me HTML and CSS. It was so fun finally being challenged I had to ask questions and everything wasn’t plain sailing again. It could have been disastrous but my Mentor was very good till this day I still interact with him. Coding really changed me it opened me up to future possibilities, it brought me back down to earth because normally everything was effortless for me.

The Real Change

During the 2–3 years I have been coding/programming it has really helped me with my problem solving and leadership skills. My mother recently noticed I am way more patient these days. So I would say Coding has changed me for the better it has helped my teamwork and it has also helped me to meet amazing people like Joshua Nwankwo and Sixtus Nnamdi, I will forever be grateful for the little advice they give me on a day to day basis and it is not only tech advice. So if you are considering learning Coding do it.

Just Do It.
