You have three options for this assignment. Each one will cover a datastructure you will most likely encounter at some point in your technical interviews.
I am lover of the outdoors and seeker of challenge. I am pursuing a career in computer programming and am looking for meaningful employment where I can merge my management experience and love of working with people into a fulfilling career with opportunities for future development and growth.
For the last 12 years I worked, in some capacity, in the mental health field. The last 6 years I have served as Case Manager and life coach. I have always been drawn to helping others and dedicated my career to creating unique, safe, and supportive environments to allow others to push their comfort zones. I have always utilized challenges in the natural environment to help drive this process and was wildly successful with this.

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
Solidify concepts we have already been introduced to as well as practicing working as a pair on a project. Taking steps toward proficiency in writing good Ruby code. As a team we obviously want to complete the project, but also do so while practicing working effeciently in pairs. Being successful in this project is having hiccups and overcoming them.
This guide will make Turing's mod 1 much easier than it otherwise would be.
We'll do this by working on, (and completing) a few dozen small Ruby exercises.
You might be thinking:
Josh. This already sounds like a lot of work. I just finished my prework, and I know Turing's gonna be brutal. Why should I do all of this optional work, instead of enjoying my last few days of freedom?
Good question. The answer is a digression into the topic of tortured analogies involving screw bits, how to learn hard things, and why you should do drills.
