# LinkedIn Series: #1

### Jan 2025: Day one of treating LinkedIn like my old (retired) blog. :)

This past weekend I celebrated my birthday. I also received my acceptance letter into an amazing cohort where I will have the opportunity to grow in more ways than one.  
I felt like such a jerk because I could not focus on celebrating my wins when my first ever technical interview was looming. Regardless of the fact that I had been waking up at 3:30AM to get some extra studying in, as most firsts go, I bombed the interview. I learned a lot and allowed myself part of a day (ok maybe a full day) to wallow. I am coming out of the fog today, and am feeling grateful. As we have learned in [**#100devs**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23100devs&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED), it's one in sixty. I've met some goals these last few months, and have a couple opportunities ahead. Time to get back to work.  
The growth is slow, but it's there. <3

Enjoy a bday selfie and some beautiful snow day pics of my kiddos.
