MOST PROUD OF

Even though I have had other achieve-

ments in my life, I have to say joining

General Assembly’s Software Engi-

neering Immersive course was the

best thing I have recently done for

myself while having to move dur-

ing the process. I had taught myself

Python 7 months before going and

AWS a year before that. Yet I learned

so much more within a short period of

time with General Assembly. Spending

sometimes up to 80 hours a week ei-

ther on zoom, doing homework and

working on projects. However the

kicker is I had to move a 3 bedroom

house during the course while work-

ing on my capstone project. So I am

happy to say that I graduated and I am

now completely moved.
