Google reasons to learn software development and you will get over 75 million results in under half a second.

I wish I didn't have to think about the reasons that led me to my decision to learn software development for fear of second-guessing myself or getting side-tracked to day dream about the future. I have dwelled on this question for weeks and I would rather be learning.

There is no inspirational story to tell; or, an elaborate journey taken to get here. There is just me; and, learning to code one lesson at a time.

Without a doubt, my decision to learn software development was all due to Flatiron School. Getting accepted into the Learn Verified program is like a space ship just offered me a seat for an adventure of a lifetime. I just know I need to get on and do my best and worry about the rest later.

I hope a later wiser version of me will come back in 7 months and have stories to tell. Tell me that the hard work was worth every bit of it and more. Tell me that I have found a job in software development and by the way I am loving it. Tell me that I was right this has changed my life for the better. Tell me that I am now helping others to learn how to code. Tell me that I am contributing to the open source community. Tell me that it didn’t mattered why I decided to learn software development because all it mattered was that I did.
