What is your long term goal or career pathway?
My long-term goal is to become a software developer at a reputable
company and build a successful career in the field.
A description of your strengths and limitations when it comes to
learning.
One of my strengths is my determination; when I commit to creating
something, I see it through to completion. Additionally, I am
honest in all my endeavors. However, I face some limitations:
English is not my first language, and I tend to be shy.
What skills (non-technical/human skills) would you like to see
developed in yourself while at Dev Academy? I would like to develop my creativity to better apply it in my
daily work. I also aim to improve my self-confidence to better
face challenges.
A commitment to how you will manage your workload in this programme.
This should include: An explanation of how you will manage yourself
to work productively and safely with other learners, Facilitators
and industry/community representatives What you will do when things
are building up and starting to get to you.
I will be diligent in managing my workload and will communicate
with the teachers if I find myself accumulating tasks. I will
strive to be more disciplined, agile, and committed to completing
the necessary steps. If I begin to feel overwhelmed, I will seek
assistance and prioritize my tasks to manage my workload
effectively.
A commitment as to how and where you will seek help in a timely way.
I will seek help from facilitators through Discord. Additionally,
I have three family members who work in IT, so I can also reach
out to them for support if needed.
A description of what you expect from the Facilitation team.
I expect the facilitation team to be understanding and patient in
helping me navigate any challenges I may encounter.
Any scheduling information such as block-out times when you are
committed to other things. For example, you might have whānau
commitments like school drop-offs. It's important to plan these in.
I have physiotherapy appointments on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. and
English classes on Tuesdays and Fridays from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
