A MUST-READ!!!

Hello,

My name is Onwuemeri Bright, I'm from the Southern Part of Nigeria, and I grew up in Agbor(Owa-alero). I'm a student at Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro and am currently in my 20s,

Well, I've got interest in Software Development And Forex Trading. But today I'm only writing on Software Development!! 

It's great to be here, and I am looking forward to working with the online space.

Way back in 2019/2020, I had my first experience with coding. Back then, I used Notepad++ as my code editor, and I learnt a few basics of coding, like HTML and CSS. It was quite fun, but due to the reason, best known to me, I quit.


Fast forward to 2023, I took the journey again, but this time with much dedication seriousness and mostly supports from my family ( my mom and my elder brother). 

So this time around, I got a new tutor with the mindset of being a Full Stack Developer and kick-starting my journey on the 7th of February, 2023. First, he introduced the subject course and everything to me, after we had to get some software applications installed (for me), so I got my Visual Studio Code, a GitHub desktop application, Stackoverflow, and others. 

So far, I've good knowledge of Html while I still struggle with CSS. I'm glad I've got 35% knowledge of Html, including its characters and attributes and CSS of 10% knowledge/skill of. 

1. **PROJECTS** 

I'm proud to say I can work on my website frontend with the help of my tutor as always, though it hasn't been hosted yet. But yeah, it's something I'm proud of because it has only been 6 weeks since I started the journey and now I have something that could take 3 months or more to learn not to talk of building it. 

Along the line, I had an idea for another project I worked on, it's a Barbershop though,  I got the idea based on its where I take my shavings from and I was able to build an interface for that Barbershop. 

2. **My Journey** 

So far, I've  learnt something about myself;
Putting God First: One can't do without the direction of Jehovah, so I make sure that I commit my daily activities to his hands.

Dedication: I made sure that I had the full mindset of what I wanted and how to achieve them.

Consistency: I've learnt to show up each day no matter how good/ bad the day is,  I made sure that I can learn something new in the Coding World. 

Hard work: Nothing works without hard work. I had to stay ready without getting ready!! Get the logic.

Challenges::
One of my biggest challenges here in coding is trying to remember each code line without having to look at my desktop or PC for guidance. 

Overcoming:: 
So I did my best to always write off the head, and so far, it has been helping!! And be consistent and hardworking, there's no other way!

3. **My Advice**

Be questionable. 
Pay attention to each detail.
Be eager to learn.
Don't depend fully on what your tutor is teaching you.

My mistakes;
Don't be hard on yourself. 
Enjoy the process.
Avoid errors, it results in debugging and kills vibes.

4. **My Goals**

I want to be in a position where I can be a solution provided to the nation.

I want to be limitless.

And to make more money.

5. **STAY BLESSED AND ALWAYS BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS WINS 🏆 ✨️ YOURS IS NEARBY!!!**
