Soon I’ll be a coding instructor for high school girls and nonbinary folks at Girls Who Code!

Advice/words of wisdom that affected your life you'd like to pass on?
I noticed that people around me don’t acknowledge their everyday accomplishments enough. I am a victim to this as well! One day I was told to physically write down any personal wins or accomplishments of the day and store them in a visible place to revisit. In my life, time seems to move a mile a minute and it becomes easy to feel like I’m not doing enough. I realized I was only acknowledging myself for my accomplishments that directly impact other people, not the everyday accomplishments I do for myself. Basically I’m trying to say, remember to celebrate yourself! It doesn’t have to be today or tomorrow, but you deserve to take some time to truly appreciate yourself and give yourself credit for every single accomplishment regardless of its magnitude.
