Analysis Of Collage Progressions

I have many past experiences with the leader role, I know how to solve problems and how to communicate and share ideas with others. I know how to use a camera with diffrent skill such as camera angles, making efficient camera movements. I know how to use different type of applications on different devices such as mobil, laptop,tablet,computer. However my weakest subject so far is coding, this is because I had no past experience with it before but recently we started learning basic coding which I had no problem understanding it, however I had to use my mobile for this which made it alittle difficult but I made my way through the tasks.
