🙋‍♀️ Nataliia's Motivation

I want to find remote job. I first learned about programming from my son, who is now 19 years old and is a student of a Ukrainian university majoring in programming. He wanted to be a programmer since the age of 14. At that time I was a film critic. At the same time, a friend of mine, who is a single mother of two, got her second degree in programming and got a job in a Swiss company as a remote worker. In September 2021, I found out that this friend of mine got a programming job in Amsterdam and went there to live and work with her family. And now, when a million refugees are fleeing Ukraine, including me, she has a home and a job in Amsterdam. I also want to be useful, both to my country and to the European Community, not to live on the help of European states, which they provide to refugees. When the war began, cultural life in Ukraine stopped. Every day we went down to the basement during the bombing. My son continued to study. I realized that I could hardly find a job as a film critic now. And, one day, when we were sitting in the basement, hiding from the bombing, my son was listening to a lecture on programming, and I was listening with him. So I got the idea to get an education in the field of programming.
