Introduce yourself (Outreachy Internship)

[prisca_chidimma]

Hi all,

My name is Prisca Chidimma Maduka. But you can call me Priceless. I am one of the selected outreachy interns. I am interning with Ocaml in the project “ Implement a non-blocking, streaming codec for TopoJSON" I am from Nigeria. I’m interested in everything software development. I like the idea of solving real lives problems with codes. :))

I applied for Outreachy because of my newfound interest in Open Source Software and because I was looking for an opportunity to improve my skills while also making meaningful contributions to real-life projects.
I'd say my three core values are persistence, results, and compassion.
I value persistence because I believe it's one of the core values of every successful person. Let’s face it, life is not a bed of roses. It has never been. Persistence helps us stick to our goal, no matter how hard it gets, and see it to the end.

I value results. You can also call it productivity. Working without results is discouraging to the person doing the work and others as well. Results are not always mind-blowing, they also come as small wins but the most important thing is that you keep going and you aren't stagnant

I value compassion because well, people are important. Everyone’s feelings are valid. I believe in treating people with respect and compassion. It’s always nice to be the reason while others smile.

That’s a little about me. I’m so happy to be on the journey and I’ll make sure I do nothing less than my best.

Thank you for reading. I will be writing about my experiences in this internship from time to time. Talk to you again soon.
