I have been trying to get the hang of coding since I was 12 years old. I have tried different websites and talk to different people who are good at teaching coding. Every time I attempted to code, I enjoyed the activity, but I never remembered how to do it in the long run. It […]
I always say the only thing that makes me truly happy is personal progress. After my presentation today, I can successfully say I have progressed with my public speaking. Today, us Empowered girls went to Doe Anderson to present our mockup websites for FutureUp. As normal, I was a nervous wreck. I was trying to […]
I DID IT! I DID IT!! (Doe Anderson presentation) I really surprised myself and my peers, by the way I explaining my content and my speaking voice. The only reason why I did so well with the presentation, was because I practice before I went to sleep and on my way to work. The only […]
Being in this Empowered Program this summer has made me realize that fear can prevent people from doing something they possibly might love. A lot of people have a misconception of coding. I am also guilty as charge. People are afraid when they hear the words “coding” or “computer science”. It sounds scary. It’s the […]
Working on the Future Up website has been slightly stressful (that’s an understatement), mostly because of the lack of content needed to create an outline of the website. Luckily, Sam pulled through and sent some info about the website along with getting admin access (thanks to Sasanjali) to our word press themes for the site. […]
In the Get Empowered program we just finished working on a project for an organizational called FutureUp.

I had already felt confident with working […]

Phew! Finally done with the Future Up project!!! That was such a frustrating, nerve-racking, and amazing experience. I am honestly so happy that I got the opportunity to work on this project because it has taught me collaboration skills, time management skills, and presentation skills. I am also so glad because this was a once […]
So I was definitely nervous for our meeting at Doe Anderson, especially saying “uhm” while presenting. Thank God I only said it twice and I didn’t totally bomb my presentation or embarrass myself. I’m glad I had this experience and that our website turned out so well. Destinee was a great partner and I loved […]
We’re finally wrapping things up, everything is nearing a close. I’m almost finished with the full HTML website and another collab with the WordPress monster. We are getting along better and better, we’ve come a long way. I actually think I no longer have any interest in conquering WordPress, but I am now focused on […]
