@switchcasebreak Thank you for your tweet :)

[Codecat @mscodecat]

This tweet is very meaningful to me. I feel like I have a lot to overcome to be able to achieve, but I am determined. This ⏬ is very inspiring. 💜

That being said, I wanted this thread to have a couple of takeaways:
1. You don't have to be a product of your environment
2. It's never too late to start something new
3. Don't let your past define you
4. Perseverance is invaluable
5. Always remember why you started this journey

@james_priest1 @udacity Congrats!!

I haven't been tweeting about my coding journey lately, but all the while I have been steadily studying, now have my #Javascript cert from @freeCodeCamp, and I'm halfway thru Front End Libraries, taking extra time w #React to make sure I get everything. #CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode

💘 Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! 💘

🌸 Finished my review of the Basic JS challenges on FCC. They made more sense this time around, for sure. Already feeling better about JS. Think I need double exposure to new concepts to really get them. I seem to do better when I review stuff instead of charge ahead. Go figure😉

@Dame_Of_Spades @GirlsDigitalEU @GirlsinTech @ggcarrots @CodeFirstGirls @GirlsWhoCode @CodingGirlsOrg @WomenWhoCode @womenintech @WomeninTechChat @WomenScienceDay @NeotericEU @kianathehackr Yay!💪💕

🌸I have been going thru @freeCodeCamp's basic JS again to see if I missed anything. I'm gonna redo all sections up to the dreaded algorithms & see if the review helps any. In doing this I now get the logic of an array.prototype so yay. Hopefully more stuff'll sink in #codenewbie

@anushatylee @EdwardHolmes @DianeCodedIt @freeCodeCamp Yay! We can do it!💪👊

🌸Worked on @freeCodeCamp Basic Algorithm section and realized I am horrible at Javascript. I thought I was starting to get it but this section shows me how wrong that assumption is. Going to focus on media queries for a few days as a palate cleanse then try again. 😔

@EdwardHolmes @DianeCodedIt @freeCodeCamp I have started reading Eloquent Javascript... I've heard it is really good.. And reading the tutorial at https://t.co/1YFAKBLr2B and also took a great beginner course on @coursera taught by Colleen van Lent from UMich. Doing @freeCodeCamp too but always searching more sources.

@arpancodes @freeCodeCamp Ps/ your feed looks great!

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@arpancodes @freeCodeCamp You can do it!! 😊 there is a ton of great encouragement here to remind us to keep trying and not get discouraged. A change of focus will probably be good for both of us so we can tackle that part again w fresh eyes😲😄

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@MattyPeters @freeCodeCamp Thanks!☺

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@mbaldwinsmith @freeCodeCamp I will definitely try that! Thanks for the tip and encouragement! 😊

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@MCiappina @freeCodeCamp Thanks! Maybe the media query break will help 😊

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@arshadumrethi @freeCodeCamp I will have to check out Codewars! Thank you! I will keep at it 😊

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@Lou_Stringer @freeCodeCamp Thank you! The encouragement helps so much - it is easy to get bummed out when getting stuck!😱😉

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@DianeCodedIt @freeCodeCamp That makes me feel better - we will get it! 😉

[Codecat @mscodecat]

@marlonanthony10 @freeCodeCamp Ha - I like that a lot! Very true. I think I need to work on my distress tolerance skills. 😁
