I had a lot of fun learning new languages alongside people with similar interests as me, and being able to learn things I've really been interested in but didn't know where to start. Although we may have gone down different paths, and will continue to branch off, I won't be able to forget the experience I had here, the relationships I made, the friends I met. I'm excited to use what I've learned to further myself and my life!

When I first heard about the bootcamp, I was excited that there was a form of education that seemed more like how I prefer to learn. I went through multiple stages of anxiety when applying, nervous that I wouldn't be able to get in, nervous it wouldn't be right, nervous I wouldn't do well, nervous I wouldn't fit in. But all my worries melted away when I stepped in the door for my first open house.

Coming into the dojo, everyone treats everyone like an old friend - we all shed that layer of fear, of judgement, and we all help each other push through all the struggles. More than anything, that was the most important thing to me.

I'll never forget these past 3 months. And although we may part, I'll always cherish everyone I've spent that time with.
