Last year, at 30 years old, I made the decision to go back to school. I didn’t know how I’d manage it—enrolling full-time while working 50 hours a week on a rotating shift. But now, I’m so glad I took the leap. Just one more year, and I’ll be the first in my family—14 aunts and uncles and a bunch of cousins—to earn a bachelor's in Computer Science. I’m not just doing this for myself; I’m doing it for my family and my younger cousins to show them it can be done. Hopefully, my journey inspires them. You don’t need a degree to be successful, but for me, this is about breaking barriers and showing what’s possible. #school #university #cs #firstgen #mexicantok #latino #sisepuede #echaleganas #eso #texas #worklife #schoolife #30 #nevertoolate #doit #insparation
