New school New beginnings




Hello Again,

    Its been a couple of weeks since I have made a post but let me just recap of what I went through during my time. Over the past few weeks I have been contemplating on wether or not I should attend the product college and fully commit to the move to san francisco. Although there didnt seem any other choice but to do the interview for the product college, I cam across an ad on facebook. I wasnt surprised on how many coding school ads I got a day onto facebook, but this one literally came clutch. I clicked on the link and I was surprised to see that there was another school that fell under the same category under makeschool. It was called lambda academy of computer science, and no its not a calculus class. What shocked me even more was that it was a full online immersive program, I saw nothing but positive reviews for the school. I immediately clicked the apply section, and put in all of my personal information

   Besides all the basic procedures for an application process, there was also a logic test just to see if you're qualified for the school. This is where the fun part comes in, I put my time and effort into the test and some were pretty complex problems. One involved me using a formula that I have once learned in calculus class. Nonetheless, I had finished the logics test, and my application was off, I instantly got an email stating that they would be announcing the acceptances in a few days. I did more research on the school and I saw a caption that showed the acceptance rate for students. They were very picky with students and it worried me the moment I saw the numbers, there was nothing I can do but wait.

  A fast forward few days later, they sent me an email stating that they would send out the acceptance letters by midnight. I was nothing but nervous, and couldnt sleep that night. With everything that was going on, I wanted to get in so bad. With all my goals and the things on my mind, I knew for a fact that it would be my moment to shine if my acceptance came through. Minute by minute and hour by hour, I got the letter back and am now fully admitted into the program :) . With all the soul searching and filling out applications, I finally found the right school for me. I have been in contact with my cohort for the past couple of days now and everyone in the community has been so helpful to me. I couldnt ask for a better school and am ecstatic to start class very soon :). I finally happy to say that I can finally make my comeback as a student and become something I shouldve been all along. The program lasts for 6 months, monday-friday from 9am to 6pm!. The stats look very tough but I believe in myself that I can accomplish this!. Until then my journey is just the beginning to a beautiful start, I am just so happy I found something that was right in my face all along.

Inspirations and passion for what I love: Vidcon 2018 post thoughts

June 23rd, 2018     I know I haven't been posting a lot on my personal life and what's going, but I will now start to make a comeback on what I have started. A lot has been going on since I last posted 2 months ago. It shocks me on how much can change in just a matter of a month!, but so much has been going on in my life both personal and also Software development.    There were a couple of things happening so far personal wise such meeting the girl who is making an impact on my life, discussing the future with my parents and also mental health concerns going on in my quarter life crises. All of these things are pushing me to become the person who I am destined to be and what is to come for in the future. For now as long as I am holding on, and having faith with the people who care for me and are around me, I think I'll be ok.   My career options and also future is the reason why my fellow lambdas read this. I have been focusing a lot on my software develop...

Inspirations and learning so much more

Hello,    Coming back from another class session and this time around. I am actually done with the first month of lambda school. The experience so far has been quite of a rocky start, but as time progressed, we are all now starting to get comfortable with each other (hopefully). By now we have just started our course towards the more advanced topics like react js and redux, along with data fetching protocols. We are almost done with our http/ajax sprint which consists of making a friendslist application that incorporates a middleWare type extension to handle data fetching protocols. We are learning so much on fullstack development and this is basically what I wanted in the first place.    Javascript has also being a part of my strong points this time around since I'm working on it everyday from this point. Pretty much my knowledge and growth for computer science is expanding and as of now. The best analogy that we have been taught was that your source of knowledge fo...

progress progress progress

Oct 9th, 2017    With so much that is going on, I notice a lot of things since the start of the program. My skills as a programmer are improving everyday, and its remarkable how much I have improved within just 3 months. The best part is, we're not even finished yet. By the time I write this post we would've reached the react native course which is close to being done with the full-stack javascript section of the school, afterwards we have our introduction to C/C++ programming which is majority of the time employers want. Reasons as to why they would want this so much is because of the fact that you have a good/basic understanding of what goes on under the hood.   So theres a couple of things that I noticed right when I first started the program, first thing was my ability now to tackle coding challenge problems, at the start being able to start a coding challenge problem was difficult for me, but after repetitive reps and constant thinking; my skills for solving these...
