Thank you Elpha! Share what you're grateful for ππ½
Just want to express my gratitude for the Elpha community as well as for team Elpha who makes this community possible. I thought it would be fun to share: What are we grateful for this year with respect to Elpha in particular?I'll go first!I am grateful for how instrumental Elpha has been in helping me transition from bootcamp to my first job in engineering. From reading daily posts and finding inspiration amongst all of you throughout this crazy year, to posting here when I need advice, to Elpha actually introducing me to the company that ended up being my very first job out of bootcamp this summer, to having the opportunity to pay it forward through this community, I'm so grateful for all of you for being there for me on this journey.Your turn!
teresaman·Nov 26, 2020teresaman·Nov 26, 2020What a fantastic thread, thank you for starting the conversation Azra!Mine is going to be very vague βΒ this year has been difficult in so many ways, so I cannot be more thankful for Elpha in helping create pockets of nourishment in my life. When we talk about things that are hard, real, weird, or tactical; when there's an offhand comment that makes me laugh; when I get to meet members (virtually) and put a face to a name from another corner of the world; when someone shares something they're struggling with and then again in some months with "hey I got through it" as a win. All these little things from the community make my heart happy :)
Thank you Azra for starting this thread! Where to start: - Being alive- Being able to hear Mom and Dad's voice - Having friends who love me endlessly and have my back no matter what- Having a job that I love - Being financially and physically fit- Being worry-free- Being able to still dream big and working towards achieving my goals because I know I canAnd of course: so thankful for Elpha - @teresaman said it beautifully! I never thought I could learn so much from people online :) Thank you to everyone in this community who keeps me on my toes while uplifting me (without necesarily realising it)
