I can tell this will be an up hill battle. I’ve worked in education for 10 years. I studied English Lit in undergrad; this is by no means my wheelhouse! This subject matter goes against my natural inclinations. But I really want to become a woman of color in STEM. ❤️🏃🏿‍♀️🙏🏿💪🏿

At the end of the day. No matter how this shakes out. I’m still a coder

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

I have a 1:1 with one of the learning assistants in 10 mins. I have a lot of thoughts about how they’re handling the end of this badge. I’m disappointed, frustrated, discouraged. Trying to gather my thoughts so I can articulate them properly in the meeting ...

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

I’m not a fan of either option but I’m going to do the extra presentation

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

My instructor gave me a choice Bc I’m struggling with React:
1.) drop out of Blue badge and start over again from scratch at a later date
2.) stay in class but complete an extra presentation (walking him through each line of code in detail after we present the group project) 🙃

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

So many people in my bootcamp dropped out tonight :/ this group project is no joke

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

I think I technically have the 2 endpoints working in Postman. I don't know how to get the client to communicate with the server.

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

really kicking myself for volunteering to work on the backend stuff for this group project.

@simsek_dev @SkylerSaville @jesss_codes I’m not sure why you’re hung up on 3 months. You pulled the arbitrary time line of 3 months of the sky just now. Nowhere in her tweet mentioned timeline. She’s simply trying to empower folks who have those skills and STILL can’t see their value.

woke up this morning feeling a bit off. But It’s amazing what prayer and yoga can do for you. 🙌🏿

It’s important to be honest with myself, I’m not very strong right now. But I know it’s very possible to become strong in the next 12 weeks of this internship and finishing my bootcamp. 🤞🏿🤞🏿#selfawareness

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

She asked me about my goals for this internship. I hadn’t really thought about it until that moment. I paused for a second and said: I’d like to be come strong in JavaScript and React.

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

Just had my 1:1 with mentor/supervisor Uyen. She’s honest, knowledgeable, and humble with a great sense of humor. I have good feeling about this!

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

It seems I'm also going to be the liaison for Web Dev in the SEO Collaboration meetings and Comedy Content Writing meetings.

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

HR and IT Onboarding went well. My first Web Dev team meeting was Monday. I can tell we have a bunch of really competent folks I'm ready to learn from and assist. Supervisor/mentor 1:1 is tomorrow.

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

I FORGOT TO MENTION I GOT THE INTERNSHIP! Meet @SuperPurposes newest Web Dev intern :)

[Britt Braswell- Long @brittbras]

Rob and I are working on setting up 2 new desk/office setups for us both. Pretty excited. I need it to organize not only physical possessions but also my thoughts! Getting ready for my dedicated space is really putting me in a good mood/ making me productive. more on this later
