| 12 | +### Can you introduce yourself (name, location, age, etc..)? |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +My name is Rachel, I'm from Los Angeles, I'm 47 and I'm tired of working at bullshit jobs. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### How did you get interested in programming? |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +I wanted to know how content got put up on the internet and asked google a question. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### When did you start learning to code? |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +I started in 2011, off and on. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Where do you learn new skills? |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +I started on freecodecamp and then heard about bootcamps. I researched bootcamps and found my way to your videos and now I learn from codingphase. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### What do you love the most about programming? |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +I don't know yet, at this point I haven't got into too much of it to have a good answer. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### What do you hate about programming? |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +What I don't like about programming is trying to set up environments. I am always getting lost. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Are you currently working as a developer? |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Not yet, I am still stuck at my crappy job because I haven't put in the work in programming to level up. Too much situtations keep comming up in my life and I feel like something just won't allow me to learn and be cofident enough to start looking for a developer job. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### What's your favorite stack or type of applications? |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +I don't yet, still unfamilar with most of programming. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### What's a technology or language or skill you wish to learn in the future? |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +I want to learn php after I am used to html/css and javascript. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Where do you see yourself in 5 years? |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +For the first time in my life I can actually answer that. I see myself working as a developer and making passive income. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### If you were to go back into time and give yourself an advice to make it easier to learn to code what would you say? |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +I would say to get my ass to work and start putting in the time and quit wasting time. |
