Development was never my strong suit. With limited knowledge, I often find it intimidating to take the first step. But I was lucky to be able to work with an engineer who guided me along in the process of converting design to code.

"Just do it, you will learn along the way" was a statement that he always told me. It is okay to not have all the answers from the outset. Instead, you learn as you go.

Knowing that it is acceptable to make mistakes, ask questions and learn from them without the fear of judgement has created a supportive learning environment for me.

The learning curve, particularly for someone like me who didnt have a strong technical background, felt like a steep uphill climb.

What became my guiding light was having the curiosity to learn. The desire to understand not just the "what", "how" but the "why" behind every practices motivated me to be proactive and resourceful into digging deeper.

The harder the challenge, the more rewarding it gets. Be willing to become an amateur in a new field and that is where growth happens.
