Why I joined Hng

So Hng internship internship.zuri.team started this week, awesome right? Okay, lets catch you up. Hng internship is a competitive program for junior Developers who wants to get experience and exposure. The internship is a scheme that accomodates more than 10 thousand people like me, who wants to get experience. Every participant is given a task, that correspond to their track. Each stage, the participant is tries to finish the the task, so as to get promoted to the next

More about me. I have being waiting for this internship for quite a while. The internship seems like a place to get exposure. Exposure in the sense that people that people that get to finish the internship, are regarded as talented or resilient. So being able to finish the internship is awesome on your resume. As a finalist, you are also added to a job pool, which is kind of awesome in a job space that is already cramped for junior developers.

I am also really enthusiastic about the internship, because i will get to meet really awesome and talented people. During the internship, we will be groped by tracks, which will really help in meeting people in your field. You work with people all over the world that do the same thing as you do. This allows you to meet people that you can grow in your career together, people who when you need help, and when they need help, you can call each other. Knowing fully well that growth cannot really happen in any context without the help of a community.

One other thing that really freak me about hte internship, is the experience i will get. You know, people always advice you to get out of that tutorial trap. Damn, i have tried, but it is not easy on my own. But with this internship, i get to work in a team, where i have to do a particular task each week. That will help me to get acquainted with real life projects, and practice what i already know. By the virtue of working in a team.
