Maryann's Story
While in Secondary school, I actually had the intention of studying medicine but I soon found that my inquisitiveness and curiosity about technology superceded my desire to study medicine. It also helped that my older brother, who was a lead programmer at Andela at the time, encouraged me to pursue a career in computer technology. So Ieorking towards this, first by seeking answers from my teachers in School, and then by doing some personal research. The issue though, was that the more I read about computer technology and programming, the more confused I became and luckily, the more I wanted to know. One of the things I discovered from everything( both my research and lessons from my teacher) was that “everything in computers are programmed and computer programs understand instructions feed to them through a computer readable languages which have their own syntax and symbols."
n the year 2017, I got admitted into Nnamdi Azikiwe University to study Computer Science. At this point, I had built up considerable interest in programming and I was looking forward to building up skills in Programming. I soon realized though that to be a great programmer I would need to invest and work on myself a whole lot, because in my first year, I wasn’t taught all that I was expecting to learn. So, I started attending seminars and researching on my own about programming.
