Lesson of the Day: Patience is key🐌


Today was a beautifully exhausting adventure as I set out to celebrate a significant milestone...my senior's graduation! Although the official ceremony Was yesterday..I was thrilled to be granted permission to visit his home and join in the celebration.

The journey tested my patience with endless lines for transport and services. Yet, I pressed on, knowing that this day was about honoring his achievements and expressing gratitude to God for this moment.

Upon arriving, I was greeted with warmth and joy. We shared heartfelt conversations that reflected on life, dreams, and the invaluable lessons we've learned along the way. My "Big Brother" (my senior) offered insights that resonated deeply, guiding me as I prepare for my own journey ahead.

Despite the challenges I faced getting there, every moment was worth it. I returned home feeling inspired and grateful for the experiences that shape us. It reminded me that even the toughest journeys can lead to profound personal growth and precious moments of gratitude to honor God..

Thank you for being here and sharing this journey with me!😊

Lesson of the Day: Use every opportunity to learn and connect🥳

Today was a truly amazing day! It began with a TypeScript class at boot camp, led by an incredible instructor who emphasized the importance of networking. Through this class, I made many new friends among my classmates, which added to the excitement of learning.

We dove into the basics of TypeScript, exploring objects, arrays, and essential data structures. It was fascinating to see how much I could grasp and remember, even with the foundational concepts. The energy in the room was contagious, and I felt motivated to absorb every bit of knowledge.

.... Following that, I had another class at 2 PM focused on web development, part of the PLP scholarship program. We discussed the significance of websites in today’s world....how they serve as vital tools for businesses, nonprofits, and community initiatives. It was enlightening to learn about the trends that drive the need for effective online presence.

The web development class was filled with laughter and insights, thanks to our engaging instructor, who brought a fun Kenyan or Nigerian flair 😁to the session.

Overall, today was a whirlwind of learning and connection. I’m grateful for the experiences and the lessons they bring, reminding me that stepping out of my comfort zone opens doors to new opportunities.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me!😉

Lesson of the Day: Embrace Challenges🐝

Today was fantastic! I started with a TypeScript class, where I struggled to find a taxi but made it on time. We had a presentation on the material we covered over the past two weeks, followed by a fun hackathon challenge in groups.

In Group 3, we worked on building a simple supermarket system that allows users to add items to a cart and check out with a total price. We managed to get around 40% done, and there's homework for the next session to finish it up.

On top of that, I spent about 6 hours trying to cook something amazing! Overall, it was a productive day filled with learning and joy.

Thank You for being Here💪

Life Lesson: Collaboration and Attention to Detail are Key to Success🥳

Hello everyone! Today was such a great day! I spent nearly 7 hours working on my Hackathon tasks for the PLP Africa event, where we're building a website that showcases creativity, and ingenuity.

It's crucial not only to focus on the design but also to ensure proper documentation and maintain a solid commit history on GitHub. During my work, I reached out to some close friends for feedback to enhance my project.

Overall, it was a very productive and fulfilling day, and I’m excited about the progress I made!

Lesson of the Day: Focus on Real Understanding Over Recognition 🌱

Hey everyone! Today was such a great day! I spent time working on my portfolio website for my project, seeking constructive feedback from close friends and fellow developers, especially those experienced in UI/UX design.

Yesterday, I presented my Simple shopping cart system, which was a fantastic experience that deepened my understanding of TypeScript. Our instructor, Natty, shared a valuable lesson: true change comes from genuine understanding and skill, not just the desire to be recognized.

Today, I almost finished the documentation for my project and worked on enhancing the UI. I’m dedicated to winning this hackathon, and I would really appreciate your wishes and prayers for me to succeed, especially since I’m not feeling my best with a flu.

We’ll hear the results from the PLP team on August 8th, so fingers crossed!

🙏 Thank you all for your support! Please wish and pray for me to win this challenge! Let’s keep pushing for greatness together!

This flu is killing me
any suggestions 😏

Lesson of the Day: It's Okay to Take a Break and Prioritize Health🤝

Hello everyone! I haven’t posted in the last couple of days because I was hit hard by the flu. It was challenging to maintain my energy, and I struggled with headaches and fatigue, which made it tough to work on my tasks.

I want to take a moment to thank this amazing community and my close friends who reached out to check on me. Your support means so much!

During these three days, I fell behind on many tasks, including my PLP assignments and others. Thankfully, I’m feeling better now.... my voice is still recovering, but the headaches have eased. I can finally start working on some of my simple and easier tasks.

I also took some time to learn valuable lessons from the YouTube channel "Switch Youth," which offers insights on living life as a young person and applying those lessons in real life.

I apologize for not keeping you updated on my progress and health.
Thank you all for your understanding and support!😊

Lesson of the Day: Progress Matters More Than Recognition🔥

Hey everyone! How are you? I'm doing well today! I'm starting to recover from the flu, which hit me pretty hard. Let me tell you about my day!

This morning, I finally had enough energy to attend the gara boot camp, and it was amazing! I showcased my Christian project, which is a mobile app still in progress. I shared it with my mentor and received some valuable feedback and suggestions for improvement. It felt great to get insights that can help me enhance my project!

Afterward, I spent some quality time with friends, which lifted my spirits. Once I got home, I took some much-needed rest and watched some great training materials. It was a refreshing way to recharge.

Later, I joined the PLP session for the hackathon results. I had been working on my portfolio website Last week . While I was excited to see the top websites presented, I felt a bit disappointed when my name wasn’t on the list. However, I reminded myself that my work is still valuable. I’m proud of the progress, effort, and genuine diligence I put into it.

Interestingly, many of the top websites were quite simple, which made me realize that a user-friendly, straightforward portfolio is what really matters.
👇👇 👇👇
Now, I’m eager to hear your thoughts! I would love your feedback on my portfolio site: https://yoni-berihun.netlify.app Your insights would mean a lot to me as I continue to improve and grow.

Overall, today was a good experience, and I’m grateful for the support from all of you!🤗

Lesson of the Day: Make the Most of Every Moment and Resource🥷🏻

Hello everyone! Today was such a great day for me. I started my day around 10 AM. After taking some rest and delaying my sleep, I was able to tackle a bunch of tasks that had piled up since I hadn’t been working due to the flu this week.

I finished my Power Learn project assignments in Python... databases and some HTML, and I even started re-building my tech project. On top of that, I almost completed Module 1 and Week 1 of my Aspire Leaders program, which is an incredible leadership experience.

Today, I took the opportunity to complete the Big 5 personality test through Aspire. It helped me discover some of my personality traits, which was enlightening.

One important takeaway I want to share is that we should always work when we have the time, potential, and abilities God has given us. Life is unpredictable, and we can’t take our energy, resources, or opportunities for granted. We need to use them to the fullest while we can.

In the coming days, I’ll share more about time management and how to make the most of it.

Thanks for being part of my journey!🥳

The road may seem long, but don't give up.
God's timing⏳ is perfect, your time is coming, and it's going to be worth every second of the wait.⚡️

Lesson of the Day: Productivity is Key to Achieving Our Goals 🐝

Hey everyone! Today was such a great day! after i returned home from church, i spent the entire day mentoring participants at a virtual hackathon hosted by @Telsem_Youth. It was an amazing opportunity to contribute to the community and connect with aspiring tech enthusiasts from the comfort of home.

I’d like to share some productivity tips I learned from a Udemy course I’m currently enrolled in:

Use Your Time Wisely: Warren Buffet once said, "The best investment you can make is in yourself." Utilizing our time effectively can make a significant difference in our productivity.

Set Alarms for Everything: We often set alarms to wake up, but we should also set alarms for going to bed. Sleep is crucial for our productivity, mood, and overall well-being. If we don’t rest, our minds can’t perform at their best.

Stay Hydrated: One surprising tip I learned is that drinking water can enhance productivity. Staying hydrated helps keep our minds sharp and focused.

Lastly, I’m currently working on fixing a bug in my Christian mobile application project. I’m hopeful I’ll solve it soon!

Thank you for being here and for your support!🥳

Lesson of the Day: Embrace Learning from Every Experience🐣

Hey everyone! Today was a great day! I tackled a bunch of tasks that had been stuck on my to-do list. I woke up a bit late, around 10 AM, because I stayed up working until 3 AM. It was a challenge, but I made significant progress on my tasks.

I focused on collecting real data from friends for my project because I wanted to avoid using mock data. It’s important to me to use authentic information whenever possible.

I also took an insightful course on Udemy by Dr. Angelina, who was a fantastic lecturer. My project is a class assignment where I’m developing a simple app called “I Am Rich.” This app is inspired by a famous story where someone published it on the App Store for $999. When purchased, it simply displays a message saying "I Am Rich," at the top and shows diamond ....and it garnered attention for its outrageous price tag. Interestingly, only a handful of people actually bought it!

Now, I'm working on my project assignments and really enjoying the process.

Fun Fact:
Did you know that the "I Am Rich" app was banned 😂 from the App Store after just a few purchases? It serves as a reminder that sometimes, simplicity can be surprisingly effective!

Thanks for following my journey!🙏

Still Worthy 🥳

Lesson of the Day: Building Strong Foundations for Success🐒

Hello everyone! Today was an incredible day! I dedicated around five to six hours to practicing Flutter, diving deep into the foundational concepts that are crucial for any developer.

As I worked through the basics, I focused on essential widgets and properties like containers, safe areas, main axis alignment, cross axis alignment, rows, columns, and sized boxes. These elements are the building blocks of Flutter, and mastering them is non-negotiable for anyone venturing into app development.

I encountered some challenges, especially when differentiating between row and column properties. It was an insightful experience that reminded me......and hopefully all of you.....that everyone, including myself, must start from the ground up. When we aim to create advanced and robust applications, having a solid understanding of the basics is vital.

Reflecting on my day, I also thought about time management. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that hard work is often the accumulation of small tasks we didn’t complete on time. It’s essential to prioritize important activities first.

Think of it like building a skyscraper🏙: if the foundation isn’t strong, constructing higher floors becomes not only challenging but also risky. This analogy applies to our lives as well. Neglecting the small tasks can have a meaningful impact on our overall success🏆.

Thank you for being part of this journey! Your support means the world😊 to me, and I’m excited to share more lessons as we grow🌱 together.
