*I am a Denver native who is involved in my community. I grew up in a civic minded household and community. I have workeed with local nonprofits as a volunteer, mentor and consultant throughout my life. My main focus has been on working with the youth in my community and helping them access the tools they need for a better future. I decided to attend Turing and move into a career in Software Development for a few reasons. The first being that I believe I can use my love of learning and teaching others by creating access to resources and teaching people how to use those resources. I was also bored, I loved working with youth, but I personally was not being challenged intellectually in my position. Learning new technologies has always been a passion, but a back burner passion. I've always wanted to bring it to the forefront and Turing was the perfect place to change my life, and the lives of the people around me for the better.

Hey Nikki, this is a solid first draft of telling about your background and how it connects to your future career as a programmer. For your next draft, I would recommend that you focus more on that question of "what's next" in order to become more specific with your goals as a programmer -- how do you want to use software to continue your mission of helping your community? Overall, nice work!
