I Dropped Out of College
My future has never seemed very bright. I dropped out of college more than once, which I'm positive disappointed my family. I suffer from depression and anxiety, and bipolar disorder. But I try my hardest not to let it stop me from doing what I want to do, which is get an education. I currently study at my own pace online, through a coding website. I love anything tech related, or computer related. It helps me challenge my brain and makes me realize I'm a lot smarter than I let myself believe.

Kiva
It all started one year when I was sent a link to a site called Kiva. The idea behind Kiva was to do something about the lack of micro-loans available for people who didn’t have the wherewithal to get loans because they were bad credit risks or lived in places which didn’t have traditional banks. When you go on the website, you can pick a country, a type of person or a group, a goal the person asking for the loan is working towards — it offers information that allows the lender, you and all the other people interested in helping the person/group, to feel like you know where your money is going to go and why.

Sorry Mom
My mother keeps telling me I should go back to college. I went to college directly after I graduated from high school. I loved my college experience. I loved having philosophical conversations in the hallway of my dorm room or deserted Dining facility at 3:00 in the morning. I loved working with my fellow engineering students racking our brains to figure out how we could incorporate the few skills we had as freshmen to impress our professor in a cumulative final project. That one credit class that was five times more work than the four credit classes I took that semester--combined. I learned so many skills and formed so many ideas about the person I was and the person I wanted to be.
