Hey myself:
Now I’m in Pittsburgh, PA. I don’t know where you will be in future. There will happen plenty things during the lifetime. What I can handle is, just this moment.
What’s my problem
-
My English is not good enough, which makes me feel worse on learning coding.
-
I’m lazy, sometimes.
-
My coding skill is basic of the basic.
-
I haven’t got much experience on coding.
How will I solve my problem
-
Study the courses in Udacity and get the Nanodegree;
-
Read English materials as much as I can to improve my English;
-
Fix my resume and send it during studying and after having got the Nanodegree for my American career;
-
Encourage myself over and over, and read the articles with full of positive energy, like How To Navigate the Up and Downs Of Learning To Code, My First Month Coding: An Emotional Roller Coaster, and Why Learning to Code is So Damn Hard.
##What skills do I have now
-
The basic of HTML and CSS;
-
Making my own website by using Wordpress;
-
Making movies(I don’t know if it is useful on coding);
-
Photoshop;
-
Ukulele. Don’t laugh, it’s important. :)
##How will what I’ve learned about having a growth mindset help me reach my goals
It’s positive. I will have to experience the roller coaster in coding area. It’s normal, I should accept it and enjoy the achievements. Growth mindset told me that.
##My GOALS
-
I desire to go to work in Google. I LOVE Google. That’s my goal. Simple, difficult, but full with happiness.
-
I want to rebuild 2 websites: ygshi.life.tsinghua.edu.cn and http://www.ju-vv.com/.
Questions
-
As far as I know, Front-end is a really fast growing industry. I wonder if I can keep up to date of the newest technology in the future. When I were not young, how to keep following the fast steps?
-
Is it easy for me to het hired by Google after finishing the Front-end Nanodegree? If not, what else should I do?
