Pierce Parsons. Kate Sheppard would be

turning in her grave. This is the
presentation by me. In October of this

year at the ripe age of forty four, I
started to study IT. I am going to become

a Fachinformatikerin, specializing in
system administration or, as the Germans

call it, physi. It's a big deal for me
because I haven't got any completed

qualifications yet exit from my university
entrance. I was ineligible to become a

baker, but I'm really glad that I took a
leap and started learning IT instead. I

was privileged enough to get a
Bildungsgutschein. I had to go to

Amazon.com over the summer and do German
and math and logic tests, which were good

enough to convince that I can tour to let
me do the course. And because of corona,

it's entirely online. I don't even have to
leave the house to get an education. It's

just perfect right now. I feel so
privileged. First of all, to be able to

retrain as an older student as it is. But
secondly, I don't have to go out into the

world every day in the middle of a
pandemic. It's perfect! So I had zero

strategy or even a proper strong will
about learning when I was 18 and went to

university during my uncompleted music
studies. I took a 101 introduction to

computer science, but it was clear after
the first two lectures that I should have

taken the one or two instead, which was
the basic course for the actual degree

path. I was this close. But although we
were shown the basic hardware after that,

this is five months of Microsoft Office,
sadly. And by the time I realized I was

two behind on the material to be able to
switch to the other course, but I always

had an interest in computers. The first
from figuring out how I could use my dad's

old work dos work computer as a word
processor, copying basic programs out of a

book onto a C64, or nervously trying out
the single Apple computer at the tiny two

classroom country school I went to. I come
from New Zealand, which is famous for

being actually paradise. I get asked about
once a week. What are you doing here?

These days, I like to answer. I really
like corona. Yeah, that's not a lot going

on in New Zealand, though, is a bit too
finite for my personal tastes. I did this

weird mess when I left, which was based
upon increasing the amount of possible

things that could happen to me. I mean,
how could I resist? But the challenges of

concentrated, detailed learning and my
middle age, I feel it's necessary and very

helpful to call on some girl bosses and
strong role models. I have a very daunting

mission ahead of me, and I don't have time
for doubt or distraction, especially with

its five year old kid to care for as well.
Will tell me that I look fat at the drop

of a hat. There are some amazing women who
have come out of New Zealand, for example,

on the left, you have Jane Batten, who
made long-distance solo airplane journeys.

And on the right, this incredible woman as
Nancy White, who was a New Zealander, a

nurse and a journalist who went joined the
French Foreign Legion in World War Two.

She got the codename the White Mouse, and
she once killed an SS officer with her

bare hands. She had a five million franc
price on her head and was the most

decorated allied woman of World War Two.
And this is Kate shippers who wasn't

actually born in New Zealand, she was born
in the UK, but her work is credited with

being the catalyst for New Zealand being
the first country on the entire planet to

give women the vote in 1893, who work also
had a profound influence on other

countries, also making this improvement.
Here she is featured currently on New

Zealand's $10 bill and this is my great
great grandmother, Jemima. Born in New

Zealand in 1860, and she was one of the
first woman in the world who was able to

vote. There's another hero who appeared
like a headmistress, the kind of angel to

me and my youth. Helen Clark delivered a
fiery speech at my school final assembly.

She was the second ever serving prime
minister of New Zealand, but the first one

who is actually a less elected to the post
and the first one who is actually nice. At

the time she spoke at my school, she'd
already been deputy prime minister for a

few years and would go on later very soon
to become New Zealand's first elected

female prime minister. Helen recently only
narrowly missed out on becoming secretary

general of the United Nations. Yeah,
Jacinta gets a lot of credit, but yeah,

Helen was there before. She told us in the
speech that most of us would end up going

overseas and that when we did that, we
should be the best possible ambassadors

for our little country that we could
possibly be. A friend of mine told me

snappily several years later that in fact,
we should be telling the world that New

Zealand is full of drug addicts and
prostitutes so that people stop going

there for the holidays all the time. So
it's actually rife with homelessness,

crime and meth. So maybe go check out
Australia instead. But her speech and

still a curiosity and me and I thought,
Well, I want to be one of the ones that

goes. So coming alone from this more
experimental nation in 2000, the birth of

the 20th century. As far as my feet can
take me to the airport, to the beast that

is Europe, I was ready for my eyes and all
of my senses to be open wide to this

incredible continent. That was a source of
philosophy and ideas and science and

developments. But it seems to be a bit
preoccupied with itself trying to decide

if people with darker skin were actually
humans as well, let alone the fact that

you can't get a decent coffee until about
10 a.m. in the morning, which is worth.

Which is worth a 20 minute talk in itself.
There's definitely some issues that come

from being a cumbersome burdens dinosaur
of a nation. 20 years later and somehow we

have a universe with fax machine, fax
machines and toxic Telegram groups exist

at the same point in time. It's certainly
a sharp contrast to the tiny, fast moving,

tricky, isolated remote little island in
the South Pacific that I herald from. So

as I mentioned, New Zealand owes status as
the first country to give women the vote

and a great part to the work of the
suffragette Kate Sheppard. And I think

that had a lot to do with the fact that it
was a small country with a tiny

population, and that's just simply makes
it easier to change things. It was also

fueled heavily by the wishes of woman's
prohibit alcohol, which invariably comes

with violence, which is rife in a colony
of much less penetrant social pressures,

much more isolation and dodgy home brew
than in their homelands. You didn't have

to convince and convert so many people in
New Zealand as you had to in Germany. And

in addition to that, you also didn't have
to change so many laws because there

weren't that many laws. Germany always
feels to me like this big, friendly but

cumbersome bureaucratic dinosaur. But in
the late eighteen hundreds in New Zealand,

white people only been there for about 50
years. So I think this enables the whole

process to be streamlined. Opponents
labeled the movement as a leap in the

dark, but in reality it was a giant leap
into the light. Germany wasn't that far

behind at this stage. Women had the vote
here by 1919 and directly at the same

time. Women were also able to be elected
to office, which is fantastic. And

obviously some things happened after that,
which slowed the whole thing down a bit.

But something I keep hearing again since
I've been living in this country is, oh

yeah. But in the 70s, it was still the law
here that women weren't allowed to have

their own bank accounts without their
husbands signing off on it. So look how

well we've done considering there, but
this feels to me like an excuse. This is

50 years ago now, and there's been plenty
of time to accelerate this stuff, to kick

up some kind of quantum feminism to make
up for lost cars. If only Germany put as

much energy into equality as it did and to
building car engines. So despite these

excuses, despite hearing repeatedly from
friends of mine who were living more

mainstream lives than me, that this glass
ceiling is dare to be put out by us from

underneath so that mostly men can look
down through it with a nice, clear view.

Regardless of knowing all of this in my
brain, I was still pretty shocked when I

started studying IT in 2021 to find out
whether I was on a course with only one

other woman and with twenty five guys,
especially them with an almost too long in

particular that there will be a higher
percentage of woman. It would be really

nice if Germany could speed it up just a
little bit and the equality area, because

this is a field where a lot more women
should be and it's so interesting, so

broad. When you look at on paper, there is
no reason why it should be a male

dominated industry. It's not a physically
demanding job, and the fact that you can

work from home makes it perfect. For
example, single parents, women with

younger children who want to be home when
they expect from school, like I do. I just

think there's so much more potential than
just being a digital sausage fest. I

really think this country has got enough
sausages. I do also realize that I can

only see this from my particular
perspective, for my particular experiences

and my individual blundering romp through
this world and probably the IT profession

in New Zealand is just as behind. No
shade, everyone. But I'm just wondering

how come it's not better than it is? I
keep getting told how brave I am for doing

this, which feels infuriating. It doesn't
feel like it should be brave. It feels

like it should be really normal to do what
I'm doing, but instead a sincere take a

big heaving pair of virtual balls to drive
dove into an industry that women have been

successful in since the beginning. I'm
pretty much starting from scratch and it's

overwhelming and it's so much. I've worked
a office job for about 40 hours a week,

learning from home on Zoom the entire
time. Something quite different. So I will

see how this progresses, and I just relish
the determination that I feel at the

moment, and I hope that I can sustain it
for the next 19 months. And I mean, I'm

late to the party no matter what happens.
But hey, season three of last. Some of the

best characters hadn't even shown up yet.
So for now, I'm trying to study every day,

at least a little bit after class and in
the weekends, and I'm sure so short,

overwhelmed with so much information right
now that I hope that as long as I

consistently keep putting more time than
I'm required to, I'll be OK. Regardless of

how much English there is in IT, it is
still a massive challenge to study in a

foreign language. I try and Ubertreibe
das. Just a little bit all the time and

read another few pages, look at a few
YouTube videos or listen to a podcast. It

is complicated somewhat by the fact that
the proofing system has just been

dramatically overhauled by the car instead
of a MultiChoice exam for this

zwischenprüfung. Apparently, it's now more
similar to how the end exams used to be,

and nobody has even set a final exam in
this new structure yet. It's pretty

terrifying. Our tests in between seem to
be creepily easy considering what is

coming. But all I do, I just figure in my
situation, my job didn't fire what I need

to know. And if I can do that, I'm halfway
there. I feel like I'm collecting

knowledge on a big scale and I know there
is more to come. So I'm trying to get the

basics down as firmly as I can, which
includes figuring out a way to be clear

and the stingless universe that I mean
villain or faulen. Am I talking Denglish

or am I talking, gentlemen? So Phil, I
just confuses me constantly because I

don't don't even know what I'm supposed to
be saying. But a classmate of mine made a

good call to sign it and then on an
abbreviated form every time to avoid

confusion. So I'm just going to go with
that. So I've dropped a few of my habits

to make space to study. I don't play drums
as much as I was before. I stopped writing

songs for now, but I've started jogging in
the mornings and I still play bass guitar

in a punk band in Nepal on the weekends.
But corona is just the best time to be

studying because I'm missing out on
nothing. I can stay home most of the

weekend and just alternate cleaning and
cooking and learning all the time. My

mental health is also a huge priority for
me, especially with COVID staying

positive. And when these little nagging
thoughts come up, just be like, I don't

have time for this now. Maybe another
time, but it's the little things that make

the difference in the end, and my body's
just as important as my mind. I need to

stay primed for exponential knowledge and
take and to not take the teenager's bad

moods personally. I want to say a little
something about social media because it

has been on my mind. I don't like being
confronted with any sexual content when

I'm trying to learn. I don't want to see
it jiggling bottom when I'm trying to

digest my abendbrot. But it's jarring just
because of its appropriateness, let alone

the content itself. There was some really
dodgy stuff in a WhatsApp group. I wanted

to say something, but it's really not easy
to do. I sort of thought about it and

almost decided to just leave the group
rather than to mention it. I was really

grateful when somebody said something
about it. Shout out Fan 2021, your jam.

And since then, it's been noticeably a lot
better. But so here and there, some on the

border stuff gets shared. I mean, my
social media contact with the people in my

class is to further my knowledge, to and
unterstützt my learning process not to

look at bums. I do not want to be
confronted with reproductive biology when

I'm just checking the time. Maybe, maybe I
should start posting a recipe every time

somebody posted something. Or maybe like I
should say something about every single

time I should write. But it's so hard. I
don't want to be the one coming in and

saying, blah blah blah. I don't care. I'm
not only a woman, I'm also old, so I'm

really trying to not send off this grandma
vibes. I don't want to be the camp mother.

I want to be right there in the thick of
the scrum. I've got a thick skin, and I

realize that not every woman is confident
enough to travel the world with no money

to make bands and found clubs and
magazines that survive a divorce without

getting a single tattoo. Some major
achievement, by the way, so I see it as a

moral responsibility to see this through
to get this qualification, even if it

doesn't inspire a single other person,
possibly my 12 year old. But that kind of

just depends on the way that the wind is
blowing, and the irony of doing all of

this out of my kitchen has not escaped me.
Maybe I can change a few perspectives in

the process. I am here and very loud. I'm
going to ask all the questions and I'm

going, Stay to the end. I need to achieve
this because of the woman before me who

sacrificed so much. It's ridiculous that I
wasn't born onto an even playing field in

the 1970s, but I'm jumping every day as
hard as I possibly can. These trailblazers

who busted their asses to get us the right
to be able to vote democratically will be

shaking their heads. I think about Kate
Sheppard and try and leap into the light

on every possible occasion. I want to show
my kid that you can do anything when you

really want to. But first, I need to get
this network stuff down. I woke up half

dreaming about protocol abbreviations last
weekend, so I think I'm on the right

track. If you want to follow me on
Twitter, my name is @diebestimmerin. I

can't believe that it wasn't taken but
wasn't taken a few years ago when I

grabbed it, when Twitter wasn't as popular
as it is now. So I post a lot of sarcastic

remarks about learning IT sang at home
during corona. And as you can see, some of

the mind bending, dangling atrocities that
I happened to come across. That's it for

me today. I want to give a shout out to my
wonderful classmates who are watching.

Thank you for your support. You're great.
And thanks everybody for sticking around.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers.
