🙋‍♀️ Quynh's Motivation

To beging with, I believe learning how to code, however skilled you are, is an absolutely vital knowledge in this day and age. From the simple task of working with Excel to designing a personal website, to making an app for personal use, a person who can code will be able to achieve much more in shorter time and on less resources. Getting to know the ropes behind coding will also help us develop a mindset that is better attuned to the new, ever-changing technology. That's why I've been looking up coding workshops where non-technical people with no basic knowldge like me can participate. That's when I come across a friend of mine who just finished a workshop with SheCodes. When I look it up, I find SheCodes' cause and my interests align. Similar to computer engineering, the legal profession, until recently, is a male-dominated field and women are more often than not held in less regards in term of skills and psychological fortitude than men. I want to take a step towards abridging this gap, whether in tech or in law, and SheCodes advocates exactly this. But to champion a cause, we must find compatriots. I believe the people who gather in SheCodes workshop programs share similar goals and mindsets, so I want to be a part of this cause.
