Baby Steps

Heyyy 👋

I'm Keren, I’m 15, and I just started 11th grade.
I’ve always been kinda curious about coding and computer science — stuff like ethical hacking, game dev, or basically anything cool and nerdy tbh 😅

This month, I finally decided to stop overthinking and just start.

I jumped into Python using freeCodeCamp, and here’s what I’ve learned so far:

  • how to print stuff (literally print("hello world"), lol)

  • what variables are and how to store things in them

  • how to make everything lowercase with .lower()

  • for loops (they repeat stuff, I think??)

  • .find() for strings

  • and string indexing (aka numbering each letter like word[0])

I’m currently around Step 40, and honestly? I’m kinda proud 🥹
It gets confusing sometimes, but when it clicks, it’s so satisfying.

I’ll be posting random updates here just to track my progress — and so future me can look back and be like “yo, I really did that.”

If you’re also just starting out — hiiii, let’s struggle together 💀
