Adaptability is one of my strength as a person and even though It is my strength it does not mean I do not share the first instance fear like any other person in a new environment.
I remember the first day I walked in, on the first day of bootcamp, everyone was already here, got in a few minutes late and at that time I walked in, I felt that gush of shyness as if people were staring at me till I found a sit. It was like staying in front of a statue at different position and trying to see from what position the statue could not be staring directly at you.
However, for the fact that I have been at a bootcamp before and could tell what brought me down. Apart from my inadequate tech skills, my relationship and feedback was not top-notch. I made up my mind not to let the shyness the get the best of me. I found out shyness is only a library of inferiority and less confident. Going by the yard stick of knowledge, when you do not know, you can not contribute then you feel inferior by not being confident enough.
This time I pulled myself out and was happy to see myself make progress. I could attempt assignments confidently with smile from that.
Distance and new teachings are another challenges on the bootcamp, but immediately after bootcamp session I surf my android for any learning application or tips. Distance can be covered quickly if one leave quickly.
The last point is something unexpected, and there its eaten more than expected. The malaria virus. I am fighting it but the headache is just too much. But in all adapting to Andela has not been so bad. Quite interesting apart from the last paragraph.
