The first time my brother advised me to go into the tech world, I didn't agree with him due to my mindset of doing what you're passionate about, and for me, that thing is writing.
During the time he was advising me the second time, he made a statement which made me rethink my mindset. The statement was "You only think you're passionate about writing because that's the only thing you're exposed to from your childhood, perhaps if you've been exposed to this coding stuff from childhood too you would've developed a passion for it more than writing".
And that's what made me change my mindset and here I'm at the ADA boot camp preparing to learn about Android app development.
