## At a Glance

- Individual, [stage 2](https://github.com/Ada-Developers-Academy/pedagogy/blob/master/classroom/rule-of-three.md#stage-2) project
- Due before class, Monday October 26th

## Introduction

It's common for developers to create a website to show off their web-dev skills and document their work and interests. These sites often feature things like:

- A professional introduction of themselves, careers, and interests
- A portfolio of projects that they've created and/or collaborated on
- A blog to share their experiences, thoughts, and/or subject matter expertise
- Other materials to share any non-coding interests and hobbies
- A site designed to express themselves

<h1>My Journey into Programming</h1>
<div class="about">

<article class="journey">
<section class="journey-intro">
<h2>"There has to be a better way..."</h2>
<p>What sparked my interest in coding was using Microsoft Power Automate to improve processes at my workplace.
I previously worked as a prosthetist orthotist, fitting patients with prosthetic limbs and bracing.
I was frustrated that many of our existing processes were redundant.
So, to automate those time-consuming tasks, I created workflows in Power Automate and learned the basics of conditionals, loops, and arrays.</p>
</section>

<section class="journey-realization">
<h2>"Wait, did I just make that work?"</h2>
<p>I quickly realized that I enjoyed the problem-solving aspect, like solving a puzzle.
One could say I was a bit obsessed. Sometimes I would finish seeing a patient and immediately get back to working on optimizing a workflow.
I was surprised how much I found myself relishing the feeling when a process I had improved was now working as intended and much more efficiently than before.
Just as with patient care, programming requires creative problem solving.
Everytime I solve a little problem, it triggers that reward system in my brain with sweet, sweet positive reinforcement!
After doing tutorials, like Ada's introductory curriculum, Jumpstart, it has cemented the fact that I can be in this space.
I don’t have to be a hacker or a gamer, or have been coding since I was 10.</p>
</section>

<section class="journey-ada">
<h2>"What now?"</h2>
<p>Seriously making the move into tech seemed daunting without a degree in computer science.
How do I even get my foot in the door?
With encouragement from my partner, I applied to Ada Developers Academy, a revered coding school for women and gender diverse adults.
Every Ada alum I spoke to was passionate about the Ada community.
They all felt supported and felt like everyone was there to lift each other up.
Coming from a traditional education with over-crowded classes of 200-300 students, I have memories of people warning me about hyper-competitive classmates sabotaging labs to get ahead.
So, a program that emphasizes collaboration and community sounded like make-believe.
Even now, actually getting into / being at Ada, I am still in disbelief!</p>
</section>

<section class="journey-goal">
<h2>"What to do with my newfound powers?"</h2>
<p>I want the best of both worlds!
As a health professional, I see the potential in programming to improve health outcomes.
With programming, I can help a wider audience.
I've worked personally with hundreds of patients but with web and software development, I could potentially reach millions of people.
Whether through improving accessibility of clinical resources on a website, or improving patient education with an app, there is potential to make a greater impact with coding.</p>
