A one in a life time experience
Finding
something to do is the first thing that comes in the mind of every final year
student once they complete their studies.. It has not been easy for me as
well and I was walking around with my head filled with thoughts of the same.
Luckily enough, I met people who changed my thoughts completely, to finding
somewhere to learn and build skillsets; The African Maths Initiative.
It has been a learning experience
every day I spend time at the African Maths Initiative office working on different
things. As an Information technologist, software development is one of the
things you can’t avoid. It happens to be among my interests. The whole of this
week, I have been tasked to come up with a demonstration of how to use Maps on
a desktop application on a programming language I rarely use, Vb.Net. It’s
through my long volunteering experience at African Maths Initiative, I have
gained the trait of learning how to learn. The most invaluable skill I got now.
Over the whole of this week, I have been able to accomplish the task and I feel
happy to make a contribution to a mega project that will impact the whole
world, everywhere the software will be used.
More to that I have been able to
learn a lot much more that will build my skill sets to make me more competent
in the things I do. More to that I feel humbled to be making contributions to
things that will have an impact to somebody’s life somewhere in a positive way.
I hope to do much more, learn more and impact more lifes.
Nice article. It's interesting to hear what you have learnt from AMI! I would work on the formatting when you post. Some text is smaller than other parts and it's nice to have spaces between paragraphs so that it doesn't look like one long text and then more people will read it!
