As an older person returning to school after more than 30 years, I cannot stress how much this class has meant to me. I really loved every part of it. Don’t get me wrong, I found it very difficult. Working with the different codes and learning html and wiki code I struggled for hours in order to achieve even the smallest success. During class I always felt behind and was constantly concerned that my slow pace was going to stymie the progress of the class. But my professor and fellow classmates were awesome. One day when I was feeling particularly stupid, Dr. Sanchez came up to me after class and told me I was doing good and that he was sure I would pick it up. Initially, i wondered if we were in in the same class, but his encouragement was much appreciated and it inspired me to keep trying. Eventually I learned how to build and html page form scratch putting the components of the page in a single folder. Linking them together , adding background color , different fonts, photographs and several links. I am doing pretty well with it. The best part is that my kids were very impressed that I was writing code, I don’t know but they said it was like “MySpace” used to be. Regardless, I was happy that I could rub it in their little faces, that I too can be kind of technical. I am going to keep up with this and I am going to grow this Blog page and I am going to write a wikipedia page about something someday.
Thank you Dr. Sanchez for sharing your knowledge with me. 🙂
