She Codes: My Journey in to Coding

She Code has been an incredible opportunity for me to dive into the world of coding. It’s a program designed to empower women by providing them with the tools and confidence to explore new possibilities, and it has been a transformative experience for me.

My First Project: Building a Website with HTML and CSS

The very first step in my coding journey was creating a website using HTML and CSS. This foundational project taught me so much:

• I learned the basics of web development, which felt like uncovering the building blocks of the internet.
• I stepped into a new and exciting field that challenged me in the best possible way.
• I experienced the joy and satisfaction of bringing an idea to life through code.

An Eye-Opening Experience

For me, She Code wasn’t just about acquiring technical skills—it was about discovering a whole new world. Each challenge I faced became an opportunity to grow, and the process was both fun and deeply rewarding. From writing my first line of code to watching my website come to life, I found myself falling in love with the creativity and logic behind coding.

A Moment of Pride

Completing my first website was a proud and unforgettable milestone. It wasn’t just a project; it was a testament to my perseverance and the skills I had gained. That moment solidified my passion for coding and marked the beginning of what I hope will be a long and exciting journey in the tech world. She Code has opened doors I never thought possible, and I’m so excited to keep learning and building. This is just the start, and I can’t wait to see where it leads.
