Thobile's Story I first became interested in coding back in high school. I took a computer subject that introduced us to the basics of coding, and I remember being fascinated by the idea that you could type something and actually make things happen on a screen. It felt powerful and creative at the same time. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much exposure beyond the basics. There weren’t enough resources, support, or real-world applications to keep the spark alive, so over time, my interest started to fade—but not completely. A part of me still remembered how exciting it felt to make something work through code. Years later, I started thinking about it again and decided to explore it on my own. I watched tutorials, read a few articles, and that old curiosity came rushing back. This time, it felt different—like I was ready to take it seriously. What really draws me to coding now is the combination of logic, creativity, and problem-solving. It’s something I want to keep learning, not just for a career, but for myself. I see it as a tool that can open up new opportunities, and I’m excited to finally give it the time and attention it deserves.
