So, I’m a Skillcrush student trying to break into the world of tech as a junior web developer. Yay! But I have a secret… I’m not actually “techy”. Like, someone-else-setups-my-new-phone not techy. It’s bad.

Amazingly though, I have made it this far. I learned HTML, CSS, GIT, Github, coding responsive websites, JavaScript, web design, visual design and branding & identity. Guys! That’s just insane, right? Now, here I am taking this wordpress class. What the what?!?!

Have I made my share of mistakes along the way? YES!

Have I asked really stupid questions and mixed up Java with JavaScript? YES!

Have I messed up my assignment so badly that I didn’t even know how to ask my instructors for help? OH YES!

But, I just kept moving. One step at a time. That’s all you can do, in any area of life. It’s all hard and confusing, but you just push a little harder and inch forward a little more, bit by bit. One day you’ll look back and find yourself in a place you could have only dreamed of and you’re like, “how did I get here?”.

Keep your chin up. Keep going… even if you feel like you’re bad at it. You’ll get there. You’ll get good at it, promise.

XOXO -Holly
