Almost 10 days into it...

So...we started as a city of people. Five hundred were interested in this program.

Some weren't interested.
Some didn't complete the application process.
Some didn't fit the qualifications.

Fifty made it to the panel interview, which was one of the last steps.

Twelve were selected from those fifty. That made us a group of 12. We were each 8% of our program.

No unexcused abscence, no being late. We are moving so fast through the information and programming that if you miss one day, it could potentially halt the entire group on their progress if we have to show you and teach you on top of all of the other projects that we have. We've got individual projects. We've got partnered projects. We've got team projects. We've got group projects. All combined, and still have our work to do for learning to program in various codes, meet with C.O.O.s of various corporations anywhere from beginning stage of startups, to multi-million dollar companies. We develop working relationships and personal connections with these people. We learn all about the various aspects of business, leadership, and technology(B.L.T.)

The first week we had one drop out.

The second week we had a second drop out.

That's 16% that missed out on the experience of a lifetime.
Now we have 10. I have the confidence that I'll finish. I hope everyone else does. Some aren't picking things up as fast as everyone. That's fine, we are able to assist each other. Everyone has to be able to learn, and be willing to be willing to examine themselves and their codes...otherwise the outlook might not be the best for them.
