It’s official!!! I’m graduating from my community college with my Computer Programming Associates degree!! This may seem like a small feat to some, but I couldn’t be more proud. I’ve been on my own, self-sufficient, since I was 18 years old. I immediately began living on my own after highschool & working fulltime while trying to complete my college education. Countless times I almost gave up, I’m just so happy I kept going 🥲🥲🥲

I’m in my 3rd week as a software engineer at @oracle 😄 here’s a few things I’ve learned so far: - take notes on action items, objectives, etc. during all sprint & daily stand up meetings 📝 - never hesitate to ask questions; the team values clarity over assumptions - document your self-learning/research while working on a feature. someone on the team might need that research later on! - jumping on a quick call to share your screen for help, instead of chatting back and forth, is way more productive 💪🏽
