This virtual internship was stimulating. It helped me broaden my studies to include the Java programming language, unit testing, and a new IDE. Additionally, I realized the importance of expanding my coding skills to include Java and tools like GitHub and Git. Most importantly, it emphasized the need to be open to change and to work effectively with others.

I enjoyed working on this task as it provided a hands-on experience with real-world coding practices. The process of creating a pull request and collaborating through GitHub was also valuable in learning how code is reviewed and integrated in a professional setting. Overall, this project enhanced my coding skills and introduced me to best practices in software development.
