Initial Thoughts on <Coding></Coding> Initially, the thought of coding slightly worried me as I had a very boring experience my freshman year of high school. Once I found out that we would be working on web design, I felt more confident and willing to put myself out there in the “world of coding”. One of […]
Four days ago I would have said that coding is a complicated topic that was for people who are good at math and can only be done with years of experience. Now, I would easily say that web design is not something that is complicated and even the most simple of people can learn to […]
I do like both Guil and Nick, they both taught me a lot, but I can’t choose which one has the better teaching style. Having them back to back gave me a better perspective on how my mind interprets information. For example, Nick’a style is direct but through, and he made sure he explained pretty […]
One my fears before starting to code was that it was this big daunting field of science that I couldn’t learn how to use.

I have to give week two its props and say that I’m glad it went easy on me. Week two was less work intensive but I know that’ll change in the following weeks with all the exciting projects we have coming up. This morning a fellow empowerment (see what I did there?) shared her story […]
I see myself being a website designer by the end of this whole experience. I know that is scary right? People including myself never seen myself as a computer science geek or a coder. Now i might just end up liking coding. Don’t get me wrong it is very challenging in a scary but cool […]
Week two has been great, it is surprising to see how much the program is improving each week. Despite this being the second week, there has been a lot new things: new inspirations, new connections, new ideas, and new reasons to be empowered. To start off the week, I was faced with a challenge. I […]
