Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how
important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had
people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I'm
anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to nave ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than
an hour at a time.
However, when
something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became
curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed
the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring
my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school,
but couldn't. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I
discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have
taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.
Currently, I'm learning
your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in
self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all
my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work
alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job——Data Analyst—this month and have been going
full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful
profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better
than, my competitors.
Thank you. You've
given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about
myself because I'm doing something, not because someone told me I was doing
good. I feel whole.
This is why you're
saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis
