1. TIL (Today I Learned)

Today I had a last office hour for section 1 for my bootcamp. All nervous but decided to rely on God's will and just give the first hiring assessment which will be happening this coming Saturday the best shot I can. However, just wanted to add on the yesterday's blog post about the sprint on making a fake twitter, twittler. The part where we had to include the new post into the list of tweets, we had to change the state of the current data by including the new tweet into the beginning of the list of tweets when the 'tweet' button is clicked. However, at first I used 'concat' to include the new tweet into the dataset. This time I learned a new way.

const handleButtonClick = (event) => {
const tweet = {};
tweet.id = tweets.length + 1;
tweet.username = name;
tweet.content = msg;
tweet.picture = `https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/98.jpg`
tweet.createdAt = new Date();
tweet.updatedAt = new Date();
console.log(tweets)
setTweets([tweet, ...tweets]); // this way the new tweet comes in the very beggining and the remaining tweets follows.
};

2. 3 Things to be thankful for

1. So nervous for the HA but I thank God for reminding me that it is nothing compared to your love for me.
2. Had a blessed day to work and have good colleagues around to support me.
3. Blessed to be able to have a good opportunity to have a taste of a bootcamp.

3. Ideas and Things to Think About

1. I am ending the first section of the codestates bootcamp, I have to admit there where good times and the bad times during the session because sometimes I felt quite stupid on not being able to follow through like how some people in the same course as I was. But, I learned great lessons along the way. I learned that anything could be learned via internet or with the will to do so. I learned that I could just learn anything in this world and it all just mattered on my interest and will to give it a try. I also learned that making mistakes was very normal. I grew up in an environment where making mistakes are not really a preferable thing. I got used to that environment which gave me some hard times during the bootcamp but due to the hard level, failure and disappointments was something very normal. I decided to keep on falling down and just getting up to try something new again. This was something I probably had earned a lot throughout the first section. I don't know if I can make it through the first Hiring Assessment which is the test I have to pass in order to go through to the 2nd section. However, making it or not I will just always try something again because I learned that the second time or the more I did something in repetition, I do get better on that. Thank GOD for reminding me He cares and He has plans for me. Imma just hit it hard and enjoy the ride.
