I LOVE those first words!!! I really do not think that there is anything MORE true when it comes to programming.
My two college professors are totally opposite of each other. My Python teacher I didn't speak to once the whole time I was enrolled in his class, but my C#, Responsive Web Design, and Information Technology teacher was SUPER engaged, and would remind us over and over again to do EVERY little project that was in the lesson even if it wasn't for a grade. She swore there was no other way to learn, and that is so true. I'm glad I sat down and just did them. I remember a couple weeks ago I had to write a C# code for a graded assignment and I thought it was perfect, would be no problems, then I hit run...... Boy was I wrong. I pulled my hair out for DAYS just looking over and over and over this code until I finally got so aggravated with it I sent it to my teacher to look over to help guide me. Well after I emailed it to her I ended up figuring it out before she was able to respond so I wrote her again and said "NEVERMIND I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY. NO MORE HAIR PULLING." The only thing she said back was "Welcome to programming!"
I have been wanting to find a mentor to just talk back and forth with so I can pick their brain, and ask questions I still can't find the answers to. I just feel like some of the things I should already know, because the information is there I just don't fully grasp it. I love learning so picking the brains of people that are more knowledgeable than I am, especially when it is on topics that I am really interested in is probably my favorite thing to do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, it means so much. :)
