I realized if I wanted to learn something new I had to leave my stubbornness and the fear of asking others for help and have an open mind. It was important to give myself the chance to learn something without the fear of failure.
A summer event with a Computer Science professor at Solano seems that he wanted all of his students to do well in the class. An example, of this whole experience, was when my computer science professor start interacting with all the students and making sure that the class was ready to work together. The reasoning was the professor wanted to make sure everyone in the class was on the same page and get the clarity of the assignment.The professor address that classroom was to be very involved with each other and willing to help each other.
