Hi, @everyone! This morning, we DMed you all important updates about when the applications will open. Your responses made our day!

If you're still struggling with Projects 4 and 5, remember that you can move ahead in your classroom content and finish other projects. After you move ahead in the relational databases portion in your classroom, you can get back to the Java projects any time.

More support on these two projects is coming to you real soon! Thank you all for your patience and happy learning!

Hey, @everyone! We know how hard you’re all working on P6 Udasecurity. HERE is a link for a support session on that project. Let us know if you need more support to finish your projects.

Good morning, awesome scholars! Let’s keep submitting our stories.

Your Students’ Stories challenge is all about inspiration and making this community a place where we share openly and encourage one another.

What stories can I submit?

• Submit a story about your life and share anything that comes to your mind! Feel free to share something that would inspire others. You can tell us: Who were you in the past? And who are you today as a result of your past? What obstacles or difficulties (big or small!) did you face, and how did that inform the person you are today? What led you to the Citi Scholarship Program? And, who do you hope to be in the future as a result of this scholarship program?

Where can I submit my story?

• Submit your story in this form and add a picture of yourself.

What happens after I submit my story?

• The best story based on the voting that will take place here will be shared on our Google Site.

• You will receive a consent form to approve that your story would be shared with the Udacity team.

We cannot wait to read your amazing stories! @everyone
