# I Decided to Sacrifice My Personal Life to Learn Code and Overcome The Learning Curb in My Chosen Niche

Alone on a Saturday night. My only friends it seems, are my laptop computer and a deep desire to learn the skill of coding.  

I am also researching and writing about my chosen niche. I just wrote a short article on <a href="https://medium.com/@donna.m.ware/why-small-business-owners-should-tap-into-the-power-of-their-websites-to-deliver-what-customers-c405128fcd48" target="_blank">Medium.com</a>, and in my opinion, it falls short. I want to give so much more, but the learning curve seems insurmountable at times. 


-I wonder if anyone is even listening...

-I wonder if the work I am doing will actually help someone...

-I wonder why I have this desire to learn code and build websites... 

-I wonder how the other side educating myself looks...

At 52, transiting careers is dark, scary and full of challenges that constantly force me to confront my fears. Sometimes I want to quit, but there's no turning back. 

I read an article by Edmond Hui, <a href="https://www.blog.edmondhui.com/self-study-or-coding-bootcamp#heading-the-most-important-step-for-success-making-a-plan" target="_blank">"Should You Self Study or Join a Coding Bootcamp?"</a> I felt understood. Thanks for writing such a great post.

Learning code and aspiring to be a website designer/developer in my chosen niche, is a complete personal sacrifice. My life is literally devoted to learning, researching, writing and doing free work.

I definitely have faith, but as I said, sometimes the other side of this seems too far to reach.

Give me a following and stay updated on my progress...

Thank you
