Never Give Up

I’m a programmer. I don’t know how it happened, I’ve always wanted it to happened, but somehow when I wasn’t paying attention, I became a programmer. You wouldn’t believe how many people told me that I wouldn’t be a programmer though. A lot of times programming has to do with math, and I suck at higher level math. I’ve been to math tutor after math tutor, trying to figure out things from 1+1 to harder stuff like Trigonometry.

Both high school and college was difficult because I wasn’t that good in math. I was excellent in computer programming, however. I got A’s in every computer programming course I took in high school and college. Math was a different story. I failed a lot of tests, and some classes. I was able to work around it though, I mean here I am today programming my heart out for work, and I love it. Granted things get slow at times, but I think it all balances out. I know that I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the tutors I got back then though.

I guess it just goes to show you that if you want something enough, and you are willing to work for it, then maybe, just maybe, you will get what you want. Never give up hope.
