ADVICE TO YOUNGER SELF
Daisy first learned computer science in middle school.
“I would tell my 13-year-old self that it’s important to stay consistent with your learnings, and to stay motivated throughout your CS explorations. There will be times where you will think, "maybe I don't belong," or "I'm just not smart enough," but trust me, you do belong and you are 100% capable of achieving success in the CS world.”
