First, I'll like to appreciate the Zuri team for curating and organizing this program - internship.zuri.team. For aspiring developers like me to participate in and reach their goals.

A saying that has resonated with me over the years goes like this “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”

The above quote has been one of my guiding principles and what has motivated me to participate in this internship program. These goals that I wish to accomplish at the end of the eight weeks of this program are outlined below.

  1. To develop and build a career in software development: Coming from a background of Electrical Engineering. I believe this program will equip me with the necessary tools required to launch a career in software development.

  2. To connect to mentors and peers: I believe that networking with mentors will afford me the opportunity to learn from them and tap from the wealth of their experience. Also meeting my peers, collaborating with them etc. Will aid us in achieving our common goals faster.

  3. To get the internship certificate: The reward of labor is in the result. I believe that earning this certificate will demonstrate my commitment to a dream I've always nurtured - being amongst the finalists of my stack in the internship program. Which is #frontend and #backend development. The #entrepreneurship track I believe will also help me translate my ideas to actionable plans. This might be a lot at the moment, but I'm determined to do my best. As this is a journey I believe I must take to become a full stack developer.

While participating in this program I've also taken time learn from the resources which was carefully put together by the Zuri team and some other platforms. The various links are listed below.

  1. Git tutorial by Seyi Onifade: https: youtube.com/watch?v=dI_CUlVKrFw&list=P…

  3. Crash course on figma by Gary Simon: youtube.com/watch?v=Gu1so3pz4bA

I hope that by watching these tutorials and completing my tasks I move step by to achieving my goals.
