Bio

Despite being disabled and having multiple mental illnesses, I have done my best to push through life and do what I truly want to do. I have no support or contact from my family, and have a limited social group due to the intolerance for the disabled. I have gone in circles for years just trying to survive. I decided this is the year to live. My goal is to achieve a BA in software development, followed by a Master's in DevOps. I believe that this will set me up for a bright future that will be able to support others, and perhaps one day, I'll be able to offer my own scholarships to those in need, too.
