Primary school was like a prison to me,
a tedious and soul-draining journey to nowhere.
In 8th grade, I made a choice.
By 9th grade, I took action.
I quit.
What's next?
- Thinking
- Reading
- Community College
I climbed the academic ladder,
earned some achievements and awards,
and transferred to a top-tier university.
- 8 Dean's List Awards
- Phi Theta Kappa
- Psi Chi
- Magna Cum Laude
I earned an honors degree in Psychology
while learning Web Development on the side.
Ever experience a shift in your passion?
After graduation, I enrolled in Computer Science.
One semester covered the foundations,
but the program was padded with filler classes.
🗣️ "Ain't nobody got time for that!"
I left behind traditional schooling,
designed my own curriculum,
integrated it with reputable online resources,
and accelerated my learning.
A few months later — I accepted an offer!
And so began my career as a developer!
The Takeaway?
Embrace life's unexpected turns.
It makes the ride more enjoyable.
