She showed up the first day only to find out it was a class in programming, a subject that had always felt inaccessible to her.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It seemed complex, something that was impossible and out of reach.

The inclusion of music in the curriculum was ultimately what piqued her interest. \u0026ldquo;It was something that made sense. It made me really fascinated by the whole idea of computer science.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt turned out that Julmice had a passion for both code and music.
