🙋♀️ Nomfundo's Motivation
As a young girl, I have put a lot of efforts by familiarizing myself with the ever-dynamic, rudiments and tenets of computers, its usage, education and acquiring a preliminary coding experience. Though I hail from a small village in South Africa, where most people are farmer workers hunters.My village was late in civilization and modern developments such as running water, electricity, tar roads. My primary school had 10 computers for different and each class of 30 students had 25min to take turns. I never let that sway me down. I became one of the strongest basic users as I could type a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet (The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog) the fastest. My computer teacher would playfully say I should be the school's typist. This even motivated me to be focused in computer studies until I learnt about Information Technology as a career however I needed to own a computer, which was impossible for me as my grandparents wouldn't afford one. I continued learning more about computers and kept familiarizing my self with computers. I have been reading more about coding and developed and interest and decided to pursue a career in coding. Unlike many other parts of Computer Education, Coding seems to need a lot of tutelage for one to understand it better, hence why I have submitted myself to SheCodes Foundation to teach, groom, nurture and mentor me through-out this exciting experience.
I am aware that that one of the most painful things to happen to anyone is not to achieve one's dream prior to the debacles and opaques of where he/she hails from. I am hereby pleading on compassionate grounds that SheCodes Foundation should approve me a chance so as not to let my dream die inside me.
