🙋‍♀️ Gabrielle's Motivation

My motivation for learning to code at SheCodes is their heart for life circumstances like mine; the compassion to create a foundation that not only helps women who are not able to both access and afford to learn the skill of coding in a proper manner, especially in an industry that is dominated by the opposite gender, is something that touched me. It gave me that boost to continue trying, regardless of whether I am in a situation that seems difficult at times. Before hearing about SheCodes, I had many concerns about whether I would be able to access opportunities in the field I wanted, but also if I would be able to access the necessary resources needed for my self-study as well as connect to an institution where I could properly develop my skills in coding in a professional setting to begin with. SheCodes gave me that encouragement and push that my self-studying does not have to be in vain, as well as that there was still hope in finding a professional institution where I could learn online, especially in regards to being a woman from a developing country that is on the spectrum.
