For five months l walked past a homeless man on my way to work. He was his late twenties, a little older than me. Every time I saw him I wanted to do something to him. Then, one day, I finally walked to him.
I introduced myself first and then I offered him two .I said, “I could either give you a laptop, and teach you how to write computer code, or give you $100 in cash." He was surprised, but I could see there was in his eyes. He wasn't sure what coding is so I that it's the language of computer programs. He told me his name was Leo, and accepted my offer. I agreed every day for two months to him for an hour.
I do believe in the power of . I was home-schooled by my mother, herself a software engineer, and she planted in me the joy of learning. By the age of 12,I had my own business designing websites and had earned $3,000. I was sure that 4 Leo learned how to write computer code, it could be a way for him to turn things around. Later, I've learnt that Leo became homeless after he his job in 2011.I hope Leo will be offered a job one day after he has learnt how to write computer code.
