Redefining Motivation. Redefining Myself.

Introduction

Honestly it has been a very hard time for me in general. As someone who's not only struggling to find place in the tech industry, but in the world. I don't necessarily have an agenda writing this blog post, but I want to keep it genuine as possible so I guess it works out.

Who...

I am someone trying to break into tech as a web developer. I express my creativity and solve problems big or small through web technology. I am a web developer!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal"
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What...

I am someone who is trying to code. I spend many hours learning, reviewing, revamping, debugging, and writing code. I write code!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
}
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

When...

I am someone who likes to push things off the later so I don't have to deal with the intrinsic/emotional struggles (applying to jobs or starting a coding challenge). I have the ability to take a deep breath and shut out the noise and just work. I won't hesitate or self doubt, I will be nice to myself and forgiving.

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding"
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why...

I am someone who knows I want to code for a career, but I am unsure if I am qualified. I have the foundations from relentless hours of coding, I have the skills from doing many projects, and I have the support and network to become a professional. I can get a job!

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding"
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How...

I am someone who doesn't know how to do it. I can efficiently problem solve and utilize resources. I can Google it~

const dev = {
who: "Andrew Kal",
code: "Hello, World",
what: function() {
return this.code;
},
when: "Just do it! Also don't neglect yourself!",
why: "I genuinely enjoy coding",
how: "Google it~"
};
