Todays brown bag and pushing for the stars



Hello again,

    For this week, it has been a pretty rough one. I dealt with a Monday being burnt out on everything. I was learning everyday and was starting to feel a little bit burnt out on everything that was being thrown at me. I felt burnt out because I felt like I wasn't moving forward with my life and that I was stuck in the middle of the mud with all this hoping in my head. It suddenly came to me though, why I started looking for a good coding school and why I started this blog in the first and that was to make something out of myself. The reason why I decided to go with a coding school and to not continue with college was to prove the people that doubted me wrong. I wanted to shut them up and prove a point. For me to accomplish this though would require me a tremendous amount of work. I know my path and I want to set things straight. I started all of this so I can have a sense of belonging in my family.

  Just today we had our brown bag from austen today about startups. There was a lot of good information he gave us about funding and the process of building a startup from the groundup. The best part about the brown bag though was being able to ask questions about the future of the school and also their hiring partners. He gave us a clear explanation of how they started lambda school and how it became what it is today. Ben who is one of the founders, wrote a whole bunch of the curriculum and tried to make something that is very different from the bootcamps that we see today. Their objective is to be different and that is one of the things that I like about lambda school; is that they are different from the competition. My whole life I would to be different from the others and prove a point in why I should be given a chance, that is why I choose lambda school, because they are basically trying to achieve the same thing as me but in different matters.  This is the only the beginning and I have a lot to take care of, persistence is in my pursuit and the only way to achieve my goal is to stay on route of it, and keep being optimistic.

-Eric

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...

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...
