Growing Older, with the Slashes After My Title

Learning new things here, translated…

Learning, is something that we all hated, and loved at the same time.

Because I’d heard the discussions of matter of artificial intelligence getting the jobs of people, even the Legos that kids play, are now, computer related or programmed, the younger generation of coworkers at my office spoke of coding constantly, and, I’d, chased after the trends, signed up for the programming design courses too.

Before classes started, I’d, hypnotized myself, “The requirement for the class on the booklet said the basis knowledge of computer is needed, I just need to follow the curriculum that the instructor gave to us, and I should be, okay?”, then, on that very first day of class, as we’d introduced ourselves to the rest of the class, the rest of my classmates were all, “young men” under thirty years of age, and, as I’d heard them introduce themselves, some were from the information technology majors, and, my originally passionate mind for learning was, cooled completely.  But thankfully, these kids are, way too kind, every time I had a question, being older than they, I was willing to, ask them, and, they’d, not gotten bored or tired, in explaining everything to me, and, they used the simpler explanations, to help me understand the materials even better.

Before I took this course, I’d felt, that I was, very connected with the rest of the outside world.  Waiting until I was actually in the class, I’d found, that standing by the side of the well, I was, JUST like the person, looking upward, from within, that well.  There were, so many useful, and free software I could download, which made my presentation much easier, I’d not needed to draw and measure with my rulers and hands, and, it’d not saved me the time, the energy, it’d, made my presentation out of the ordinary too.

Once I’d started this course, I’d realized, that it’s, no easy task, designing a webpage that is, good looking.  I’d, needed to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, along with other forms of computer languages, to make the menus for the programs for the cell phones, and iPads, before I’m, able to, actually, MAKE a webpage of my own, the JAVA programming, the theories of the software programs, and countless number of UML drawings to be made, it’d, tried my no longer, fast-moving brain.

In the little over three months’ time, I’d, become an insomniac, getting chased by the homework assignments, going to and from work to the classroom.  Although, it’d taken me a long time to learn, and, couldn’t remember everything I’d, learned, but, the course had, opened up my eyes, and, changed my thought processes a lot.

From before I’d demanded myself to put in two-hundred percent, cared too much about perfection.  And now, I’d, only demanded to make that one-hundred percent effort, and save up the rest of my energies, to learn something new.  Like the new age of “slash people”, I’m working hard, to have this slash middle age, so I won’t become, an elderly who lives at the bottom, and continue, to be able to, do things that I want to do.

And so, this, is how you worked, to stay active, to take a class in something you’d never gotten into, and surely, it was, difficult, because compared to the rest of the students in your class, a lot of them are from related majors, and yet, you received the help you needed in the class, by interacting, asking the younger generations of students the questions you have on the course, and they were all, more than happy, to help you out too.
