Let's have a little fun with a trip down memory lane: think back to the year that you first started your career in tech:

• What year was it?
• What was that first role?
• How did that role help you grow into who you are today?
• Include a Giphy to symbolize the year

Here's mine:

• My career began in 2001
• My first role was an apprenticeship at my local school district, in a help desk capacity
• Accountability. Ironically, I didn't have much of that as a teenager when I started my career, and eventually I found myself without that first job. It was hard, but valuable lesson early on that I look back at with appreciation.
