New Journey Starts Here

Hi, welcome to my page. I never made a blog before , but this is one of many firsts for me!

My name is Tor (like Thor without the h) and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I've lived in the city for about 8 years now and I've come to call it my home.

I have the typical story of getting a 4 year degree in something I didn't have a passion for, I come from a background in sales.

Last month I made a big change in my life by deciding to change career's into web development. I decided to attend Flatiron School about a lot of research into what I wanted out of a school.

I don't regret it one bit! I've always thought programing was interesting ,but never chased it. I always thought that I was "too hard" or "I'm not smart enough" to do it. After some dabbling with some free resources and a few student loans later, I realized that it's not as hard as I thought it was.

In the month that I've been in the program, I learned that the reason I thought it was too hard was because of my mindset. Once I learned how the program would think, It made a lot more sense when I tried applying what I learn.

Thanks for reading my blog! I look forward to posting more along my journey.
