Short story ALL about MEE!
I come from a relatively small town in VA, tucked in the woods. Completely absent of a tech community, so I ventured out. I found myself attempting to self-teach my way through it, but after rabbit hole and rabbit hole of no progress, I instead decided it would make more sense to put myself in a fully encompassing environment. Where I could learn with others, have structure and guidance in the right direction, and most importantly I was looking for something that would challenge me to the core. I knew that this would be a life change that I could not give up!
Within my options, report after report claimed Turing to be the best school. They were not wrong! This curriculum has made me struggle more than any education before it. But through the struggle I learn more and more everyday. In just ONE month: I surrpassed my knowledge from self-teaching, branched out with networking opportunities that I would never of had the opportunity for, made more like-minded friends than ever, and I am so proud of myself and peers for making this far. At the end of the tunnel, our futures have never been brighter!
I am excited to join a workforce that actually values and respects not only their employees, but the world around them. I hope to bring empathy and understanding through design and UI to the masses. Nothing would make me happier than to be apart of a team that is little by little making the world a better place. I believe Turing will open my world up to endless possiblities and the ability to accomplish tremendous feats!
