Intro

I'm Elaina. I'm 29 and I feel fine...sort of. If you don't count the world crashing down around me and the persistent shroud of depression and anxiety that I've struggled to suppress my entire life. :)

No, really, I'm okay. Nowadays, people who don't know me very well might even describe me as bubbly and talkative. I've got the meds to thank for that. Now, the playing field is more even. I'm ready for the next challenge.

Speaking of challenges, I was accepted into a coding boot camp, Tech Elevator. It's the kind that's so intensive, you have to quit your job and pray you will find another when all is said and done. This would be terrifying under normal circumstances, especially for someone like me who grew up fairly poor, but is even more nerve-wracking considering how COVID-19 has affected hiring. 

I like consistency. There is something very special in knowing you can afford your next meal that I will never take for granted. A small part of me fears I may have given that up, but an even greater segment is brimming with excitement...
