Hey everyone 😅

I wish I had a story like so many I have read, to tell you what school I'm in and what skills or education I have. But I've been dreaming of becoming a computer programmer since I was about 8. I've done everything, almost in life so far, starting from working fast food at the age of 15 to becoming a magician, auto mechanic, military soldier & helicopter repairer, working in the medical field, becoming an indie pro wrestler, semi-truck driver, vocalist, and even lawn care maintenance. It wasn't until my father came to me in my dream and stated how he loved hearing how I loved computers and how I wanted to be a programmer, but now he wonders why I am always in front of a computer nearly every day of my life this far and yet I haven't even followed my true dreams. Oddly, that same day my mother, who's more ill than I care to admit, told me how proud I have made her, but she would want nothing more for me than to see me go after what I always talked about as far back as she could remember.

So, I started looking into it though starting anything at this point in my life would be most difficult. Yet here I am. Learning is one of the hardest things I've ever had to learn in my life... Code! 👨‍💻

I can say though I've been doing this for a few weeks now, literally, all the training I have has been self-taught through studying what I can, and I have GitHub to thank a lot, for what I have learned and have been able to accomplish this far. GitHub has been and is my educational system, support system, and mentor through this challenging part of my life. I know I don't know enough of anything yet, but I do plan, God willing, to become an amazing coder, computer programmer, developer, DevOps, full-stack professional one day 😅

P.S. I will take any advice, tips, guidance, anything that will help me advance along the way because um...I'm scared 😆 Most times I don't know what I'm doing lol
