Is it only me, or does it happen to everyone who has a brain fart when trying to code with HTML5 and CSS?

I hate to assume, but I think I am the only one who has question after question obviously trying to “fix” my scrambled errors.

Last week we went over the basics of coding using HTML5 and CSS.

I was trying to create something that was basic linking in CSS, and as I followed the instructions, following each step carefully, well, to be honest, I killed over 30 minutes becoming more impatient, lost my focus, and obviously changed the original styles over and over.

I was creating a container and did not know where to start; this is when I realized an hour sure was not going to be enough time and that I needed to make a “Kristine cheat list.” This was also a hilarious idea if you think about it.

One found one video that didn’t overwhelm me; the video was short and informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbnCll6vvw4

I was able to create a div and span in 4 minutes.

I sat here for 10 minutes to try and sum it all together to briefly explain what excites me about getting into Tech.  Lets get to why I decided a career change at the age of 50.

I made a very successful career in the Logistics industry, I have over twenty-five years importing/exporting anything and everything, along with any compliance requirements for all countries along with a very strong accounting background and sales,

I had to provide stability for my two boys as I became a single parent with Jeanpaul who was 10 and Sean 5, not to mention flexibility so that I could attend my kids school events, sports, doctors, and everything else that comes along weather good or bad. I was truly blessed to always find employment within one or two miles from home, and understanding.

 I grew grew up in the era that you could have financial stability with no degrees, just a high school diploma, in which I did and did very well. Within the past 3 years the Logistics industry has had many ups and downs leaving many people laid off and no work. I was one of these individuals, and have been laid off 3 times within the past 18 months.

Time waits for no one. I cant and wont let time pass me by. There is only one option, learn to fly with future. I am excited to learn how to fly.

My goal is to complete this program with a strong spiritual and knowledgeable foundation in the tech industry.

I have a few obstacles, learning to take notes, flashcards, and how to study. I will watch videos, asked questions, and use apps for coding to assist me with flying.
