Good day, I have been unemployed now for almost a year after facing challenges and most recently I dabbled into Tech and found great interest in it. Now I came to realise that every lesson I would take would end in practical work; having to code and try the programmes myself which is important in this case.. I attempted it using my phone but it was not successful at all, I think it was worse that I'm still a beginner otherwise if had experience I think it would be possible. All of this I have been attempting to teach myself preparing for the wethinkcode bootcamp in high hopes that I will be successful in all their entry assessments to be a part of their programme as a good foundation in the Tech from there the only way is up. Then yesterday I went to tiktok to go get some inspiration from some tech ladies and one mentioned shecodes and I was interested to go check it out, I got to their site I browsed and found out it was a full online course, yet again a laptop is needed. As this also seemed like a stumbling block I thought to myself how can I get an affordable laptop, as I was still thinking of that I asked myself even if I were to see one where will I get the money to buy it?as I was still thinking I opted to research by chance if there could ever be a sight where people or maybe an org near me that allows one to use computer or laptop that are good for programming for maybe 5-6 hrs for free.. Then a list came through the first one I got into the site crashed on me so "wanted tech" was second on the list when I read what it's all about I was amazed to find such an impactful org. This also encouraged me the more.. As I am someone who hardly asks for help but would rather help others.I realised that asking for help is not a bad thing. I'm thankful to whomever who chooses to assist me with the laptop and may God bless you in advance 🙏.
