I had not stepped into a classroom as a student since I graduated college six years ago. After having already spent more than half my life in school, this was the last place I thought I\u2019d find myself. But I must admit, being back has been the most gratifying and, might I add, stressful experience I have ever had.<\/p>\n

My name is Penelope and, little did I know, this Bootcamp was just what I needed. Being able to learn a million new things a day is overwhelming but also very satisfying. Not only have I learned Python, R, SQL, and statistics from scratch, but I\u2019ve also realized the learning journey should never stop.<\/p>\n

We are now in week 10 of the Bootcamp, which means D-Day (Demo Day) is just a couple of nights\u2019 sleep away. The stress levels and pressure are definitely at an all-time high as every group is making sure their projects are finished and presentable for the big day. Despite it being a stressful time, when you take a step back and look at how much we\u2019ve been able to learn and put into practice to complete our projects, it\u2019s astounding.<\/p>\n

This Bootcamp has been nothing but intense and there have been countless times when I\u2019ve questioned my level of intelligence. Overall, though, I have proven to myself how resilient I can be when it comes to overcoming challenges. With technology advancing and improving every day, you have to quickly learn how to operate it. I highly recommend this program to anyone up for the challenge. They will be amazed at how much they can learn about data science in such a short time!<\/p>\n
