I was pretty excited when I heard what our project was going to be. We had only been learning for a few short weeks now and there were definitely some hurdles to jump when it came to learning certain concepts. But the most important piece of information (I believe) that we were given was to find a topic that you cared about. That made all of the difference.
My first experience with coding was honestly not a very fun one. I took a coding course in High School and told myself this was something I never really wanted to do ever again. I didn’t understand what I was accomplishing or why. It was all command-line and boring. I cared more about putting together the computer components and playing games on them. So I finished the class and that was the end of it… for a time.
