Funny, just a few days ago I started vlogging on my phone. I want to do at least 30 days of daily vlogging and talk about stuff I learned, events that occurred and things I reflect about. I do it just for myself, nothing will get published and I kinda like it so far. Just me and my selfie camera haha.

In one of the videos, I think it was the one from yesterday, I talked about the use of repetition to hone your skills. Be it coding, sport or speaking. No matter how bad you are, as long as you keep doing it you will get better over time. There are so many examples that prove this, like Micheal Jordan practicing his throws to name a simple one.

You are on a good path with your projects! Everything I have researched so far tells me that the most important thing is to show your skills by displaying various projects you worked on. Nothing else really matters. Even a degree is not necessary if you have the right skills. Each project you finish increases your chance to get hired!
