| Haley | I heard about the Grace Hopper Program through a friend of a friend. I had taken 2 computer science courses right before graduating college and realized I loved CS more than my major. The Grace Hopper program seemed like the perfect way for me to learn about Software Engineering so I could pursue my passion. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical before I started the program. Even on the first day, when I showed up I wasn't sure if I had made the right decision, but now that I've completed the program I can say with absolute certainty that I made the right decision. I know looking at the curriculum, and seeing the capstone projects that people have made can be really overwhelming. To go from knowing zero javascript/anything about web development to creating these amazing applications in the span of ~3 months. It seems too good to be true. You have to work really hard and put in the effort, but everyone there is rooting you on. The instructors, fellows, and your fellow students in your cohort are all their cheering you on. It is really the best learning environment you could ask for. Everyone there is super supportive and really truly wishes you the best. It feels really crazy knowing how much I learned and how far I've come as a software engineer in such a short span of time. If you are serious about making the switch into tech, GH is the way to go! |
