College:

I am currently trying to enroll in college and intend to complete my English course near my residence, obtain an AA degree, and then pursue CompTIA certification for the purpose of securing a future job or starting my own business. I am considering it because I want to help people around the world get their access to the internet and websites, as well as help customers stay safe and secure.

Moreover, I was forced to forfeit my college education in 2017 as a result of my EX grandfather’s brain cancer and my EX fiancĂ©e’s Partially Down Syndrome (Not adult in mind yet.). I am fully aware of her motives and her resentment towards my grandfather, Mike.
