We're calling for Student Stories! This is our most inspiring challenge where you can tell us your story of who you are and how you came to Udacity. I personally love reading through these; all of them are inspiring and motivating in their own way, and it’s so interesting to see what everyone wants to achieve with the skills they learn through each scholarship program!

@Tali from Ontario, Canada!
📝Tali's story:
"About five years ago, when I was looking for courses in Cryptography, I found a very informative MOOC on Applied Cryptography on Udacity. Shortly after that, I became a Technical Writer in a custom cryptography development company. The learning curve there was so steep that I was learning new things 100% of the time while working there. Unfortunately, the recent pandemics has set me free. I've decided to treat this time-out as a personal gift and follow the path of future butterflies that spend some time in self-isolation in a cocoon, turning from crawling things into marvellous flying creatures. I decided to refer to these months as "My COVID19 University". I've been dreaming of becoming an expert in Cloud Computing and Machine Learning / AI. I started looking at available options and found the Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Scholarship Challenge! By so far, this challenge has helped me to reorganize my previous knowledge and fill the missing gaps. Moreover, the vibrant Slack community helps me to stay on track. Studying together, asking questions, being able to help others, and deepen my knowledge by answering questions on Slack is an addictive experience!"
🎁Tali's tips on how to squeeze in the Scholarship on a heavy schedule:
"From the very first day, I have been devoting 30-40 minutes to studying the lessons. I also check the Slack channels, including my current lesson and all previous lessons to see if I can help people by answering their questions!"
