I am new to this community and this is my first post! I apologize in advance if this post is not appropriate. I feel a little bit lost, It's been 3 months since I started to study JavaScript, and although I find it very interesting and challenging I can't figure out how to apply all these functions on my projects/website.

For example, During my study, I learned how to use WHILE loop/FOR loop COOOL! but how can I apply this knowledge in my portfolio? from now I am just doing exercises like ("Write a function and return the sum of the first element of array etc etc etc"). Then after much research, many people advise starting creating a "very easy" app like ToDo. But once I open my editor I don't have clue where to start.

I ask if you guys have had the same experience as me? what I would like to find is an exercise like Ok I learned the for loop now I am going to insert it in my site, I learn to create arrays ok now I insert what I have learned in my site so that I can interact with it. For example, how can I use a simple array in my portfolio?myUglySimplePortfolio

I hope it was clear and I apologize if I made a bit of confusion, but I am asking for your help guys because this is the job I want to do and I'm giving it my all.
