Three Quarters of the Way

    In the third quarter, I had the opportunity to delve into coding, which was both exciting and challenging. One of the key concepts I learned was how to create ordered lists, where the sequence of the items matters. I discovered how to use the "start" attribute, which allows me to set the starting point for the list, such as beginning at a number other than 1. Additionally, I explored the "type" attribute, which enables the use of different types of markers in the list, such as Roman numerals, letters, or numbers, to structure the order. In contrast, I also learned about unordered lists, where items are presented with bullet points instead of numbered or lettered markers. Furthermore, I was introduced to nested lists, a list placed within another lists, which allowed me to organize information hierarchically. Alongside coding, I also engaged in a Community-Based Research project, where we designed a study based on a real community issue in the community that served as the foundation of our research, where we also created a webpage that presented our findings in an interactive and informative way.

    While coding was an exciting challenge, I did encounter significant difficulties, primarily due to my lack of experience in this field. I found it particularly hard to spot small errors in the code, as even a tiny mistake could cause the entire webpage to malfunction. These errors often prevented the page from displaying correctly, which was frustrating and time-consuming to troubleshoot. My lack of knowledge about coding made it even harder. However, I addressed this challenge by turning to various online resources. By learning from my errors, I was able to learn how to carefully check my code, identify common mistakes, and understand how to resolve them. Over time, I became more comfortable with the debugging process, improving my confidence in coding.

    Moving on, I will apply the knowledge I gained from this quarter to further develop my coding skills and deepen my understanding.  This journey has sparked a passion for both coding and research, and I am excited to continue honing these skills in the coming quarters. This journey has sparked a passion for both coding and research, and I’m eager to continue refining these skills and exploring new opportunities for growth in the upcoming quarters.
