From beginner to Full-Stack
At the beginning of the program, I had little to no experience with coding. As time passed by and I kept receiving mentorship from everyone in the FES team, I was able to feel a lot more confident in my skills and also received endless motivation to keep learning and adapting to new technologies. The program itself teaches students the Front-end side of developing a website but once they saw my passion for coding, they also advised me to pursue a career in Full-stack development and motivated to push outside my comfort zone. Their main focus is to get you to where you want to be, even if it doesn't involve something within the program structure itself. For example, other than coding, they teach students how to have enhanced focus along with being able to connect and interact with others. They have indirectly taught me that oftentimes, the only requirement you need in order to be able to succeed is to show up and be ready to learn. In addition to this, they helped me understand one of Benjamin Franklin's quotes, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." I'm no longer afraid to spend money in exchange of valuable skills and Frontend Simplified has made every single cent worth it. I would have never imagined having this type of valuable and high-demand skill but thanks to them, I know I'll succeed in the industry!
