Invest in yourself by investing in others

I don’t have a college degree. It wasn’t for lack of trying though, my personality just didn’t mesh with the lecture-style setting that universities provide. I taught myself how to code because I wanted to build a Guitar Hero tournament community. That’s it. No other reason. While building that community, I learned that building things with code excited me. Even more so, I learned that building community with my peers was my passion. I was a small-town girl that wanted to build something bigger than myself. With that desire and the passion to elevate and bring others together, I built a career far beyond what I could ever imagine. Developers have the skill set to build almost anything they want through code. Let’s put those skills to good use and change the world around us.
