As someone new to software development, contributing to open source projects can seem daunting and downright terrifying.
Learning software development has been an unexpected journey that I have had the pleasure of taking. Having the support from
my family members and friends has made the journey less of a challenge even, so it has not been an easy road. I've hit many road blocks in my path but I keep challenging myself every day. I’ve read many articles suggesting that as a junior software developer it is important to contribute to open sources. I've searched the innerwebs for an open source project that I felt I could tackle easily.
my family members and friends has made the journey less of a challenge, I'll admit, it has not been an easy road. I've hit many road blocks in my path, even so, I keep challenging myself every day. I’ve read many articles suggesting that, as a junior software developer - it is important to contribute to open sources. I've searched the innerwebs for an open source project that I felt I could tackle easily.
The harsh reality of it is that most of the open sources out there are not quite as easy as I thought it would be. GitHub in general has been a challenge to learn and I feel like I learn something new each day but looking at several "beginner friendly" open source projects I've come to the stark realization that it is going to take much more time than I had thought to be able to contribute code in open source projects.

## Lessons Learned
Even though the above paragraph might seem a little off putting, do not fret. Open Source Projects are nothing to take lightly, it's a serious business so take your time, read the documentation and readme's, do research, and never ever give up or stop learning. No matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned developer, there will always be something new to learn.
