Last year I got really into learning how to code in java and python. I signed up for every free class I could get on Udacity and Udemy and completed quite a few. Right before Thanksgiving I received an email from Udacity announcing a scholarship from Google for their Android Developer Course. This usually costs over $500 and I wanted to win. I completed the application and found out today I won! I'm so greatful for this access to free knowledge and I can't wait to get started.

Now that I know developers can contribute to the Steemit platform through utopian.io, I want to learn as much as I can! Maybe in a few years I'll be able to help code around this place! I'm so excited I just had to share the good news with you all!

Random gif, just because

The last few days I spent a lot of time back in Facebook land. Originally, trying to recruit peeps for the cause. I've got at least 3 new members for the Fantasy Crypto Trading League coming over, but they're still waiting on account creation. Not much I can do there. While I was promo-steeming it up, I of course ran into other fellow Steemians. One of those steemians was @ashleykalila. She has started a project called @humansofsteemit which showcases real life Steemians in all their shining glory! She has come up with a list of interview questions for people to answer and then she publishes it all on the @humansofsteemit account. She splits the sbd made from the post with the interviewee. So cool! When she asked me if I wanted to take part, I didn't hesitate to accept. She is always looking for more humans of steemit to interview, so if you're interested, please go check it out. I think it's a wonderful project and I look forward to supporting it. I spent a lot of time yesterday writing up my answers and I can't wait to share it with all of you. As soon as the post goes up, I shall resteem it!

@chackett is hard at work planning our next #ophumanangels mission. He looked up online what all items our local food bank and halfway house are in need of and totaled it all up. He then made a post asking for help to fund this endeavor and Steemit came through big time. Last night we cleaned out our pantry and found a whole box of stuff that we had and will never eat that was on the list. This weekend we'll go to Costco and the Dollar store and load up on the rest of what's needed. A huge thank you to @lyndsaybowes, @hendrix22 and @davedickeyyall for donating sbd to the cause. We'll be documenting the whole process so keep an eye out for that post. It's gonna be a feel good story you don't wanna miss!

Tommorrow I'll be doing an official Fantasy League post, hopefully our gals from facebook will be all set with accounts by then. I'm in the mood for a contest, so don't miss that one either! hahaaaa

That's all the good news I have for today, thanks for reading!
