 ## 👋 Hi there
 
-Welcome to the Data Engineering code interview! This small data challenge is designed to test out your skills in python, sql, git, and geospatial data processing. The challenge will go from easy to difficult, there's no preassure to finish all the tasks, so try your best and get as far as you can!
+Welcome to the Data Engineering code interview! This small data challenge is designed to test out your skills in python, sql, git, and geospatial data processing. The challenge will go from easy to difficult.  Try your best and complete as much as you can!
 
 To start this challenge, create a new **private** repo under your github username. We would like you to include all the code, notes, visualizations, and data inside of the repo. You will have **48 hours** to complete this data challenge. Once you are done, please provide read access to your repo by inviting `@mbh329`, `@td928` and `@AmandaDoyle`
 
-> ⚠️ Note: **the repo has to be `<ins>`private`</ins>`, otherwise you will be automatically `<ins>`disqualified`</ins>`**. Also we will check your commit timestamp to only account for the first 48 hours of coding activities.

 At Data Engineering, we enhance datasets with geospatial attributes, such as point locations and administrative boundaries. To help us better understand the data from **Task 1**, we would like you to join the initial raw data to the **[2020 NTA (Neighborhood Tabulation Area) boundaries](https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/open-data/census-download-metadata.page)** and create a choropleth map of 7 day total count by NTA of a specific `complaint_type` of your choice.
 
 Depending on how you generate the map, you can store the map as a `.png` or `.html` under the `data` folder.
