My name is Lemon, and I’m an 18-year-old in my second year of computer science. Not long ago, after failing almost all of my classes, I realized that despite loving coding and learning, I wasn’t acting like it. I would watch tutorials and do nothing with them unless it was for an assignment. So I decided to change that, and change myself, with a boot camp from hell. From that day on, all I would do was code. I create small projects where I learn new concepts, namespaces, and languages, no matter how small the project is. So far, I’ve completed one project at 100%. I started my second one a week ago; it’s called LemonChat.
