Well done for being ambitious and brave enough to want more for you and your family! I have a very similar story as well and come from a retail background. A lot has changed for me in the last few years even before the pandemic hit. I realised that I'd been building simple websites for years and that I should further the development of my skills, to get to a point of being able to do it professionally. I want to encourage you to keep going and never give up. I believe in you and know you can do this.

I'm doing the #100DaysOfCode challenge too - 10 days in. Good luck and have fun with it.
