My Valentine

For the past two years I’ve been a mother and with motherhood comes hormones, babies, and sleep deprivation. With that also comes existential philosophies, like; who am I? What have I done in my life so far? What will be of me in the future? Etc.

I’ve worked in so many different fields and the common thread at the more successful work and projects I’ve done so far is met on how much fun I had, the love for my co-workers, and opportunities for growth. And just like in a romance, you start to see that maybe that person or in this case, that work wasn’t the love of my life.

The party ends, the environment shifts and like a romance, me and my work at the time broke up, amicably, every single time!

So now that my sons are growing, even though they are still very small, I feel that they have given me tremendous energy to conquer the world. I feel so energized and motivated by them, and what differs now from when it was only me, is that I have limited time during the day to chase my dreams and then at pick-up-at-daycare-o’clock I need to be a full-time mom and a household project leader until bedtime. So those precious hours when they are at day-care are worth to me more than can be described in words.

Therefore, going back to a job that I had before them wasn’t in the cards for me.

I just feel that the hours away from my sons must be meaningful, fun, and developing.

These hours must be spent on something greater than just chasing paper. I wanted to be part of something greater than the everyday treadmill, it has to be magic and something in the leading edge.

So in one of my many sleepless nights I remember reading about some cool girl-gang that was doing something revolutionary, they were giving out a short free programming course to incentivize women to a male-dominated business, in coding. I was so inspired by that so I started to stalk them on social media and soon I got to learn that I had another friend that is doing an amazing project in blockchain development to women in Sweden, Finland, and Africa, bringing diversity to the field.

The butterflies these women have given me is almost like what I felt when my fiancé proposed to me.

So atm I’m doing an intensive 24-week Bootcamp with the inspiring women I’d read about a year ago from Technigo.

This is my 5th week and even though I’m a bit overwhelmed, I’m slowly learning and appreciate every high and every low of it.

The funny thing is actually that my father forced me when I was a teenager to go to an IT college. I didn’t care that much for it back then, to now realize that this field is for me like a boy-next-door kind of love. It’s been there all along and now I’ve seen how much it has blossomed and I think that this is it, I can feel it in my gut. This sky-is-the-limit-growing-field is my never-ending destination and what I can do from here is far greater good then I’ve ever done before.

Watch me!

Talking about race isn’t a personal attack on white people…it’s simply a start to a larger conversation.. Truth is, it doesn’t matter how educated you sound, or how well you dress. It doesn’t matter…
