YOUR DEVMOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE

Passive vs. Active Education

OWN YOUR Learning

• Education vs Learning
• It's how this industry works
• Hands on, Videos, Reading
• Just scratching surface

• You should expect to struggle
• You should expect to feel behind others
• You should expect to feel overwhelmed

We have only 13 weeks.

YOU SHOULD EXPECT

Dealing with ADVERSITY

• Give up
• Get depressed
• Blame others
• Work hard, stay positive

Students who work the hardest and stay positive often surpass their "more experienced" peers.
