Meet Wezzie: She chose persistence over setbacks and became and engineer.

Before

Wezzie’s path through ALX was not linear. She initially enrolled in Software Engineering, had to defer due to mental health challenges, and when she couldn’t complete the next cohort either, she felt genuinely discouraged.

What brought her back was the ALX emphasis on grit the idea that even when things are hard, you keep going. She enrolled in the AI Starter Kit, pushed herself to finish, then applied for AI for Developers. Through bouts of depression, she kept reminding herself of that lesson: stay strong and keep going.
