My experience as an Outreachy Intern in a week at Mboalab.

Hi everyone, my name is Abdul-wadud Musa, and I recently got accepted for December 2022 to March 2023 Outreachy internship round.

I am a certified Android Developer from Nigeria who loves writing codes and developing mobile application. it has always been a wish to contribute to open source libraries/applications

On the 22nd of November 2022,I got accepted as an intern with Mboalab Developing an android application [Digital stethoscope]for December to March Outreachy internship round. I would be collaborating with other interns to achieve and build the application.

Some of My Core values are Learning, Consistency, Challenge and growth.

I am always interested in Learning something new, Learn from others and new ways same thing can be achieved. This always push me to collaborate with various individuals with like minds to see their approach of solving a problem and learn massively from various individuals.

Consistency removes uncertainty and leads to trust. Trust, in turn, leads to influence

Consistency: Conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness (definition from Google Dictionary).

It's not what we do once that shapes our lives.It's what we do consistently [Anthony Robbins].

Challenge and growth supplementary to the values mentioned above, Learning something new and being consistent must be complemented with challenge which makes you put into practice what you have learnt over time, task your brain and make research on ways to do things outside your comfort zone, making you gain experience and expertise in the field(Growth) and you can measure your growth.

Outreachy is a three-month paid and remote internship program conducted twice a year from May to August and December to March. It provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry where they are living.

I applied to Outreachy to achieve my aim of contributing to open source project and also learn from other individuals, The first week of the internship has been great and i look forward to learn more and collaborate with my fellow interns.
