KPI

I am home on break! It’s the second semester of my first year at the University where I am undertaking a degree in Computer Science.

We have learned a lot in school and I have been introduced to my first programming language – QBASIC. I have done most of the exercises in the course textbook. 

One of the exercises was for a small loan calculator and I was proud of how I had solved it.

I am looking forward to sharing what I have learnt with my family; especially the loan exercise. 

I am with my father and he is listening to me explain the problem of the exercise and I how solved it. He is listening attentively. 

Fast-forward to a few years and he still listens to me talk about programming, but, this time I am doing my internship. 

Now, I am at my first job after University and I am working from home and he is listening to me talk about a dashboard I do not know how to build.

It is a new task and my father is trying to convince me that it’s a “good challenge”. I am not convinced, I am afraid. I think I would lose my job if I can’t build it and my heart is racing. I am anxious again and I am drinking a lot of water.
