🎯 My goal: to complete the 8 Week SQL Challenge, solving one case study per week and progressively strengthening both my SQL skills and problem-solving abilities.
🏋🏼♀️ But this is more than just a technical challenge—it's also a personal one. It’s a way to push my own boundaries, stay committed to a learning path, and prove to myself that with consistency and discipline, I can go beyond what I thought possible.
👩🏼🎓 Everything I’ve learned so far has been self-taught. I’ve spent time exploring, making mistakes, and figuring things out on my own. That’s why this project feels especially meaningful: it represents the mindset of continuous growth, curiosity, and the willingness to improve week after week.
🧠 I had been meaning to take on this challenge for a while, and now feels like the right time. Sharing this publicly is also a form of accountability—and a way to connect with others who are learning, building, and challenging themselves too.
✅ The 8 Week SQL Challenge is a data analytics project created by Danny Ma that presents eight unique business scenarios across different industries. Each case study includes a database schema and a set of real-world business questions to be answered using SQL. It’s designed to simulate practical data challenges and test a wide range of SQL skills—from basic queries to complex data transformations and analytical thinking. https://8weeksqlchallenge.com/
