I am super proud and excited to have been awarded #I4G of the year at the just concluded #I4GHACKFEST2022. When I started my tech journey in March, I was very confused. I came across the @ingressive4Good platform and they gave me direction with the #I4GDatacamp scholarship. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
A scholarship that gave me hope that I could succeed as a techie, a scholarship that announced my name to people just by being No 1 on that leaderboard for weeks. I am so grateful for this award, the first of many tech awards I will receive.
I want to appreciate the organizers of the event, the entire I4G community , every one who nominated and voted for me and the entire twitter Data community. I am dedicating this to everyone who is confused and still figuring out their way in this journey, it gets less difficult.
How I was able to learn data science without having a laptop?
When I decided to do this(data science), the major limitation for me was not having a laptop.
On some days I would cry and feel frustrated because I didn’t have one and It was slowing me down.
A Long Thread!!!

The major breakthrough for me was @ingressive4good #I4GDatacamp scholarship. I downloaded the Datacamp app on the day I applied for the scholarship, this was like some days before the closing date.
Finding out I could code and do exercise on the app was the drive I needed to continue. On some occasions I would switch my phone to desktop version, so it feels like I am using a laptop.
With coursera, it wasn’t quite easy for me because of all the things I needed to download.

It was on this day, Four months ago, that I started picked up the IBM Data Science Course on Coursera. A couple of weeks later, I won the #I4GDATACAMP scholarship.

When i started this journey, I wasn't even certain of Day 1. I put God first and I gave it my all.
Four months of consistency, Four months of hardwork and four months of putting GOD first.

When people say you can't pivot in six months, it was too scary because I know I get bored easily. I focused on learning the basics.
The goal was to constantly learn for six months, then start applying for jobs.
