The American Dream is one of the most sought-after achievements in the world.  Many people relocate their whole lives, leave behind established careers and loved ones for their one shot in the United States. It’s common to hear success stories glamorize successful immigrants who’ve risked it all and made it. Steve Jobs was the son of political migrants from Syria and Jeff Bezos father came from Cuba alone at 16 for the American Dream. However, access and opportunities are not equal for everyone.  Most importantly, we do not hear the stories of children who grew up in America and consider this home.  Children are raised to be American but are denied the same basic rights as everyone else.  Our government system considers these individuals temporary visitors, which creates barriers when it comes to receiving financial aid, getting a job, equal access to healthcare, risk of deportation, and more. These children are known as DREAMer’s.  The term “DREAMer” originally took its name from the Dream Act,  to describe young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and have big hopes and dreams for a better future.

“Why do you need a web development Bootcamp?”, an old classmate from college asked me. I had just told him I was attending Ironhack’s web dev Bootcamp, and what would have been an ordinary catch up turned into a challenging discussion about what a developer can take from an intensive course of coding. I understand it may seem an unlikely career choice, so I decided to share some lessons I, a junior developer, learned from my bootcamp experience.

Hello! My name is Dioni Ugalde and I’m going to tell you about my experience as an Ironhack student, attending a web programming course for nine weeks. I decided to write a few lines about what this project has been for me because I think it can be very interesting and relatable for those of you thinking about doing a Bootcamp.

The moment I realized that math was the language universe used to reveal itself, I had since then wanted to be a physicist. Physics had an elegant and enigmatic way of answering the questions I had as a child but due to the lack of infrastructure and opportunities for scientists in Nepal, I considered studying abroad. But my decision was presented by a stack of reasons why I shouldn't. So I did what any right-minded math enthusiast would do, join engineering. After getting into engineering school it slowly transitioned into the love of technology.
