From Stay-at-Home Mom to Web Developer

For years, I embraced the role of a stay-at home mom. My days were filled with the
joys and challenges of raising my son, and I wouldn't trade those moments for
anything. However, as he grew, I felt a yearning to explore my own passions and
contribute to something beyond the home.

The Search for a Passion

I dabbled in various activities. hoping to find something that sparked my interest. I
tried cooking, envisioning myself as a culinary artist, but my souffles always
seemed to fall flat. Gardening was next, but my thumb proved to be anything but
green. While I enjoyed these hobbies, none ignited a true passion within me.

Descovering the Digital World

One day, while searching for a solution to a minor technical issue, I stumbled upon a
YouTube tutorial on web development. Intrigued, I clicked on it, and a whole new
world opened up before my eyes. The logic, the creativity, the endless
possibilities - it was captivating. I started devouring online courses, learing HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript during my son's nap times and after he went to bed. It wasn't
easy, juggling motherhood with coding, but I was determined.

Building Something Real

My first real project came when my husband mentioned he needed a website
for his business. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to put my newfound
skills to the test. Days turned into weeks as I meticulously designed and coded the
website. There were moments of frustration, of course, but the satisfaction
of seeing each line of code come to life was incredibly rewaring. When the
website was finally launched, my husband was thrilled, and I was beaming with pride.

A New Career, A New Life

That website was a turing point. I discovered a genuine love for web
development, a passion that allowed me to use my creativity and problem-solving
skills. Soon, I started freelancing, taking on small projects and building my portfolio.
Now, I work from home as a web developer, designig websites and
signage while still being able to spend quality time with my son. It's the best of
both worlds. My journey from stay-at-home mom to web developer has been
challenging, but incredibly fulfilling. It's proof that it's never too late to pursue your
dreams and discover a hidden talent.
