This question is for me!
In my late 20s I started having many weird symptoms and essentially was unable to continue my physical job. I was on food stamps.
I always thought I wasn’t very smart, but I just gave up too easily. Without any other options education was my only option. I graduated with high honors with a CS degree.
Met a VP in school he offered me an internship and I have been working for him for a few years now.
I ended up finding that programming is really my passion.
I’m planning to go back for my masters as my workload is pretty low.
When I think back I remember how I was losing hope. I grew up poor so I had no parents to really fall back on. I’m glad I pushed through. Now, I’m on vacation enjoying the sun.
