House of Rails

Andrew House

Final Week

It is my last week at The Iron Yard.
It feels like the last 11 weeks have flown by, mainly because I have been having a ridiculous amount of fun. I have been stressed, anxious, and nervous. Learning how to cope with all is part of being a developer. To take the negative feelings and look beyond them.
“Why am I feeling stressed? I guess it’s because I’m having a hard time getting this to work.”
Understanding yourself and the root of your feelings can be a driving force. After understanding the stress, I can redirect it into a thirst for knowledge.

I’ll be happy and sad after my demo day is done. Happy that I had completed the course to the best of my abilities, learning so many different things. Sad that the environment that I have been in, everyone giving 100% to learn, will be over. But alas! A new chapter will start, with great people with great purposes. Life is pretty cool if you give it a chance.
