Many of things have changed since then...

So I haven't posted a blog since November and just now I read through my older posts and seeing how confused and scared I was about the future. Things have changed since then and I am content. Last week I completed my Internship for college  downtown Toronto. It was sad to leave there but it was such a great experience. Doing this internship has really helped me to realize what I love to do. The first four weeks of being there I coded website templates that were already designed using HTML & CSS. I learned so much more of HTML & CSS and got comfortable with doing it. Before that I was struggling with all code and was getting worried that this field isn't for me but after doing four weeks of straight coding I feel confident I can do it now. It's such a relief to be better at it and now I know I can design and code websites. I also had a chance to design a school template and code it and the boss really liked my design, so that was a bonus for me. Another thing I did was design a logo for the company so that felt good inside to have done an actually logo for something that exists. This internship has also made me realize that I love designing and can spend hours putting together a logo or a website design or a poster. I know where I belong in this field. The 7 weeks of being at my internship went by really fast but now I am back at school and end of April I will be graduating from my two year college program. Hard to believe it has gone so fast and scary to finally be leashed out in the reality. Where summer jobs at a Deli shouldn't be where I am working after graduating instead I should be somewhere in my field. Finding a job in this field is what frightens me the most. Real and serious interviews where Employer's are looking for skills, talent, and a personality that will work well with the team. So many things to encounter and lots of competition. But I am confident I will find my way in this world by finding a job I love, a home for myself and doing all things I always dreamed of doing.
