I'd like to talk about Simon, who I first met at a party. It happened four years ago when my sister threw a big party for her 30th birthday. She invited a lot of people, including family, friends, and colleagues. I went to the party and after we had birthday cake, I met a funny guy named Simon. I started talking to him and found out he was a colleague of my sister. He worked as a website developer, while my sister was a software tester. They collaborated at work. I've always been interested in starting a career in IT, but I didn't know how to get started. Simon and I ended up talking for hours, and he gave me some really helpful advice. He suggested I get involved in a coding boot camp in the local city. He said that after studying for six months, I could potentially get a job in the IT industry. I enjoyed talking to him because he offered me such informative advice.
