Good morning @Anonymous6o6, I've been following this thread & I want to thank you for what you do here. I just got accepted into the program today which will start on the 15th of next month (thanks to this thread for the Information + motivation) & I look forwards to it.

Also I tried to join the August WhatsApp group, but I got the notification that the link was refreshed. Please could you post the new link? Thanks

I have once stated here that I opened a private group with few colleagues whom I can associate with during tough projects to help one another. Well guess what? Since we started C project, the group has been dead as hell!! Only few guys have been able to keep it going but I knew it was quiet because of the difficulties of the projects. I also rarely spoke there because I usually do my projects after the first deadline which affected my score and my work has been taking too much of my time (I usually arrive home late by past cool.

But yesterday, I kept sending everyone of them a private message to know their challenges on C, we made a decision to do a Google meeting to explain all the C project from the first project. Everyone were going to participate and talk! That way, they're able to remember easily and feel the responsibility.

Because of the rain, network was shitty and it was already getting late (past 10pm), so we rescheduled the meeting to today. We shared materials for this week's projects. So that everyone can read ahead, prepare and participate in solving the task together, that way, we would be ahead.


The point I'm trying to derive from this is that, you will need your peers if you want to finish ALX!! David, who got hired by Amazon emphasized the role his peers played in helping him till he graduated.

For this week's projects, we will be starting basic data structures and algorithms. Not going to lie, I'm a bit anxious since I have heard all the hypes about data structures and algorithms but I'm also excited too.

I will love to join you guys group so I will not crash outta the program

Good Morning Everyone

I want to start on this note, please don't email me to add you to the group, because I usually read my emails late, so you won't think I saw your mail and ignored it.

That was why I dropped the group link here so that anyone can easily access it and join. If the link stop working, I will always resend. You might send me a mail to add you to the group and it might take days before I reply because I hardly open my mail, I hope you won't take it the wrong way, Thanks.

The week just started but my work already tripled. So I just checked my email today and saw a mail for something I applied (though I forgot I applied...lol). It was actually an internship offer but I won't be paid, when I'm done, I will be given letter of recommendation and other stuffs.

VA program also started today, will create a different thread for it.

I slept pretty late last night, was in a google meeting with my colleagues till 11:30pm before we finished. We were discussing on this week's project and how to go about it. Some of the topics we include... (Pointers, Array, Strings).

Lord!!! String in C is nowhere similar to string in python. ALX projects even gave me added to my headache yesterday grin. I had to read and watch different sources to get a comprehensive note. I was just so happy because my colleagues explained it so well, we actually shared the project tasks amongst ourselves so that each person can explain one but whoever explains it wrongly will be assisted by us.

I have been trying to update the thread since yesterday but Nairaland serve wouldn't allow it.

I received a message from ALX SE team today, I guess the countdown for elimination has begun!(Dramatic song plays in the background)...

Another thing happened today, someone from the 3rd cohort who specialized in backend was brought in to defend his projects, I really wanted to watch the video but I was a bit late and the link was removed. In other words, whoever finishes the program by luck through "copy and paste" will have to defend the projects to prove he or she did it without copying others before being added to the "ROOM".

Lately, my group has been very quiet lol, I understand everyone is trying their best to not get eliminated, which is why I urge the August cohort to put in their best.

You just have to give in your all, just imagine for today's C project, we had to study pointers, Array, Strings and basic data structures and still finish the project in 24hrs. It is just overwhelming, which is why I keep emphasizing on studying ahead.

I'm so proud of you. Your writing skill is something I admire and would like to learn for myself.

Anyway, congratulations! I believe the internship will succeed . I wonder how you gonna combine these activities that you won't be stressed out.

Good Morning everyone
Today's PLD (peer group learning), so I will make the most of it to study.

Last night was really great, I had a google meeting chatted with some of the August cohort members and it was really inspiring to see them putting efforts towards this program.

For the next google meeting, I will be bringing in one or two of my colleagues to help answer any questions you may have and also explain some of the projects.

I tried to record the session but my network kept failing me and nothing was recorded.
