Farida's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized the power and potential that technology holds in shaping the future. Growing up in Afghanistan, I observed firsthand the impact of technology on society and how it can be a tool for positive change. I was amazed by the idea of creating something from scratch and bringing ideas to life through coding. As I delved deeper into the world of technology, I saw how coding can be used to solve real-world problems, improve efficiency, and create innovative solutions. I was inspired by the endless opportunities that coding offers and how it can be applied across diverse industries to make a difference. Moreover, as a girl from Afghanistan, I saw coding as a way to challenge conventional image and break barriers in a male-dominated field. I wanted to prove that girls can excel in technology and contribute meaningfully to the industry. All in all, my interest in coding stems from a desire to learn, grow, and make a positive impact through technology. I believe that coding is a powerful tool that can empower individuals to create change, even though it will have tiny impact to my society, and shape the future, and I am excited to embark on this journey with SheCodes to develop my skills and make a difference in the tech industry.
