<h1> Happy 50th Birthday, Travis! </h1>

My attempt of Coding a birthday Card! (this is why i wanted to leave class early, and why i didn't want to have my advising meeting earlier)

/* tiny birthday code */

age = 50;
teacher = "Professor";

birthdayMessage = "Happy Birthday " + Travis + "!";

Learning code has been a challenge for me, and there are many times that I feel uncertain or discouraged. Your patience, clarity, and consistent support made all the difference. Thank you for taking the time to answer my many emails, and rexplain concepts when I need it. It encourages me to keep going even when I am struggling. I am so grateful for the guidance you’ve provided and the confidence you’ve helped me build. Wishing you a very happy 50th Birthday, and many more years of inspiring students with the dedication and kindness you show every day.

— Your grateful coding student, Sydney :)
