My Journey Into Coding

Present: Enlightened

Reflective Walking

I wanted to express the beauty of coding for a long time but I have never been able to do so because I never had that type of mindset before. Now with that mindset, coding is a clear path to venture and I am walking on that path every single day. That path has 2 ways to it.

  1. Chill
  2. Reflect

Chilling and Reflecting are two different things. Why are they included in my path?

You need to relax to let go

Many people think of this as if it is useless. However, I think it is an essential thing that humans need to do. Coding can be stressful for anyone working in the field, which is why they need to devote some of their time to relax and recover by letting go. Not thinking of coding for a while. This may seem hypocritical considering that I want to work for Google but even people at Google need to relax. Letting go of any work-relating duties and doing something that calms you. I will be sure to remember this when I am hopefully working as a software engineer so that I can become more clear-headed.

I reflected on why I wanted to become a software engineer

Now that I am in computer science, I am doing my best to try to learn the material so that I can be aware of what coding is like. Even typing this code is making me be aware of what coding is like. This website is making me more aware of what coding is like. This is only the start for me to becoming a software engineer, but now that I am aware of what it takes to become one, I can be sure to completely master it if I want to be one in the future. However, I am far from done with my journey. There is still a long path ahead of me.
