I did it! I finished my reset phase of the internship, maybe is not too much for many people, but for me is a big accomplishment, this is the first step of what I want to do in life.

I learned a lot during this week, mostly because I came from another area, I used to work as a logistics advisor, but at the beginning of 2020, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and start my career as a Fullstack Developer. So this phase helped me to forget about what I used to know of organizations, about how to learn, and well even how to be a better person not only at work, but in personal life, and that's thanks to communication.

At the very begging, we were said to read two books and take a course in Coursera, very interesting by the way. I will start with the course resuming what I think was the most important of it.

With the course, I learned some techniques to learn new things, and obviously, I will need all those techniques because I am learning a lot and will learn a lot more. Is funny how actually we do somethings without even notice them, like going out to distract and let your diffuse mode get the ideas without even thinking about that. Another one stuff is that converting everything into an analogy, so that way we can relate everything with something that is familiar to us. You definitely need to take that course and most definitely you will love Barbara Oakley.

There was other assignment during the month such as read 2 interesting books, 1 of them is very relational to the course I already talked you about, the name was Make It Stick. Here is my sketch with the main ideas of it.

Again this is about some learning techniques so we can get understand everything easier. As you can see I don't exaggerate when I told you I was going to learn a lot more!

The second book and my favorite, of the 2 books of the month, was Ego is the Enemy. And well I did a sketch for it too, give it a look.

I personally recommend this book, please. I think that this book is a must for everyone, it will help you to be a better person to start thinking differently, to try to be better with others, to THINK LESS OF YOURSELF!

That’s it, tomorrow I will start the next phase, so wish me luck, and I will come with more news about it.
