Me and My First and Always Passion

To talk about a brief about myself, I would like to start by saying that gladly every move I am going trough has helped me in the past and toward my future, started out as in my life teaching computer science for more than ten years in Saudi Arabia and teaching has showed me the benefits of how to move on but never the choice I wanted to go for. After choosing to immigrate to Canada where it took me to another level with tension, with moving to a higher step, with achieving a new thing and forward.

As I expected it was one of the hardest choices when I have moved to Canada in the beginning where I am a single mom taking care of a child and very difficult to move around. As much as I handled, I used to get devastated after taking the hardest steps. I made a decision out of a background field that I do not want to teach anymore or move on with teaching and this is the moment where I realized that I should take my studies to the highest level and continue with coding and searching for colleges that would believe in me and give me the things I need. by that time I started looking right and left, getting in contact with people in Canada who are web developers and has the experience in the same field and this is when everyone started to giving me an opportunity and replied to me with different ideas, with great comments and with an excellent sense of integrity.

People gave me different choices, different places, different locations where I went in a loop that I have no idea where to go. I had to go for a decision as I am short of time and must move forward with what I get, until the moment a person contacted me on LinkedIn giving me the best advise regarding where to study .This is where Juno college (HackerYou) became a choice and one of the top choices available. In the matter of location, studies, reviews, people recommendations, so I took the decision and never looked back, and until this moment I regret nothing of a move I made after my life has been settled down and with the best choices taken.
