"I am fourteen (14) years old and live on the island of St. Lucia.Prior to Coding Without Borders, I had no HTML or CSS experience, however, Thanks to SOW Coders, in just a month, I have gone from merely being a user of websites, to a creator of my very own! Now, through my website, I can help others discover the joy of reading I know so well. Thank you SOW Coders for a great experience!"
