Most of my cousins had been a part of the tech industry for quite some time now and although I wasn&#8217;t sure of following in their footsteps, it sure nudged my curiosity towards coding as a skill.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being keen on coding, I could not find the impetus or the culture I was looking for, in my college. All in all, just like me, most of my batchmates were also confused about the relevance of additional courses for well-rounded skill development.<\/p>\n<p>It was that age I guess when we all are eager to learn and grow exponentially.<\/p>\n<p>My confusion was also a result of receiving a multitude of advice from a variety of sources. The lack of clarity held me back from everything life had to offer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"enrolling-myself-in-scaler-edge-changed-all-that-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"enrolling-myself-in-scaler-edge-changed-all-that\"><\/span>Enrolling myself in Scaler Edge changed all that.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Scaler Edge helped me from the very beginning in laying the foundation that I needed to become a skilled coder, such as learning the basic coding languages like C. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/ghost-production-blog\/2020\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-11-07-at-9.37.53-AM--1-.jpeg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt><\/figure>\n<p>My goal has always been that I excel academically; for I for one, don&#8217;t want to have any regrets in the future about not doing something meaningful. Whether my efforts would lead to rewards, that was a secondary concern. My primary aim is to hustle towards making my present better and brighter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The thing about Scaler Edge that I appreciate the most is its practical methodology. It makes us ready for the real world of programming with a lot of hands-on information about the applications of coding in real life. The Edge programme has always focused on how to apply that information under proper guidance. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It might not have been long since I joined Scaler, but I have already developed a sturdy rapport with the TAs, who have been extremely supportive. Their teaching has allowed me to see problem-solving as not just a task, but a step towards the bigger goal of learning something out of it. My mentor has been very helpful as well in providing a structure to my efforts, and despite the fact that I am a very self-sufficient person, to say the least, all the support that I have gotten at the academy has only made me a better learner.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"my-batchmates-at-edge-are-really-inspiring-too-because-they-bring-healthy-competition-to-the-classroom-which-motivates-me-to-better-myself-every-day-\">My batchmates at Edge are really inspiring too, because they bring healthy competition to the classroom, which motivates me to better myself every day.<\/h3>\n<p>Collective assignment-solving, amongst other things, has been very advantageous in order to drive me towards keeping up with them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-biggest-difference-that-i-notice-has-been-in-my-confidence-today-i-am-ready-to-push-myself-harder-through-the-obstacles-and-i-am-very-appreciative-of-the-fact-that-i-have-been-getting-ample-amounts-of-support-for-the-same-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-biggest-difference-that-i-notice-has-been-in-my-confidence-today-i-am-ready-to-push-myself-harder-through-the-obstacles-and-i-am-very-appreciative-of-the-fact-that-i-have-been-getting-ample-amounts-of-support-for-the-same\"><\/span>The biggest difference that I notice has been in my confidence. Today, I am ready to push myself harder through the obstacles and I am very appreciative of the fact that I have been getting ample amounts of support for the same. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>All in all, I think Scaler\u2019s live sessions and problem-solving classes have been one of the best things to ever exist in a curriculum and I have even started recommending the same to my friends and peers as well. One of them has even joined us now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/ghost-production-blog\/2020\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-11-07-at-9.37.53-AM--2-.jpeg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I entered Engineering, I was confused for the first two years of my college.
