  My estimated ETA for completing this issue:
  

  • Progress Reports: Copy the below and put it in the issue once you have been assigned to the issue at least 5 days (we check weekly on Fridays), or sooner if you have something to report. If you finish this issue before 5 days are reached, Yeah!!, do it on your next issue. This update should be done every week for every issue. The checkbox here is meant for us to see if you understood the instructions when you end up doing your first weekly progress update.

  Provide Update
  1. Progress
  2. Blockers
  3. Availability
  4. ETA
  

• Go familiarize yourself with the Hack for LA Design System page in Figma (where you can see components and their classes)
• Once all tasks are completed, close this issue. This issue will remain open until you get through your first progress report. Once you have done that, we are confident you know how to keep the momentum going on your issue and keep your team informed.

What should I do if I have a question about an issue I'm working on, and I haven't gotten a response yet?

• First, you should post the question or blocker as a comment on your assigned issue, so it can be easily referred to in the next bullet points
• Then, add the issue to the "Questions / In Review" column of the Project Board so that it can be addressed in the next development meeting
• You may also add the label "Status: Help Wanted" so other developers can see it and potentially help answer your question
• Lastly, you can post your question in the hfla slack channel and link the issue you're working on, so other volunteers can see and respond

Hi @Jaretzbalba.

Please don't forget to add the proper labels to this issue. Currently, the labels for the following are missing:
Role

To add a label, take a look at Github's documentation here.

Also, don't forget to remove the "missing labels" afterwards.
To remove a label, the process is similar to adding a label, but you select a currently added label to remove it.

After the proper labels are added, the merge team will review the issue and add a "Ready for Milestone" label once it is ready for prioritization.

@Jaretzbalba we don't see that you have attended any team meetings or setup your development environment (according to the items you have checked off above), or that you have self-assigned to any good first issue. Are you interested in staying on the team? Do you need some help? If you do need help, please let the team leads know.
