On April 6th, I created a discussion to celebrate something great that happened to me. I said at the time that I was going to give more specifics later. So here it is. I'll give details while remaining discreet about some parts for different reasons.

I have wanted to work in a specific field since I was a child. Thus when I finished high school I applied to college in the said field and I was very happy given how restricted it is. I managed to complete my program and then came the moment to apply to a university in that specific field. However, my admission was rejected, despite having good grades because they weren't good enough. So I told myself I could at least work with my College degree. I couldn't work where I did my internship because I failed an entry exam, even if they wanted to keep me they couldn't. Finding a job was very difficult, but I managed to find one at this place and I was very happy. However, this happiness did not last long as I hated my job on day 1 ... let's just say that my superior said things you should never say to an employee, especially the first day (the first time you officially greet and welcome him). I held for many months, but every morning at the office I was depressed.

After this job, I struggled to find another job due to my lack of experience in the field at the time. A few months later, I was lucky enough to enroll in the University for something related to my field. Had I gotten good grades, it would have allowed me to pursue my goal. However, despite my best efforts I fell short. Later on, I managed to find a new job somewhere else. This time I was very happy with my job and the team was fantastic. I met a lot of great people there with whom I'm still in contact today. After a couple of years, I saw a job opening somewhere else and I was hesitant to leave my current job, but I did because it was a great opportunity in my career and new challenges. The team was not as great, but the job was great. I didn't stay long because I was able to enter a university in the field I wanted because of my work experience. At first, I was scared because I had to leave my state and had no income.

I took a leap of faith and got my first grade A (I was happy) but then the other grades weren't so great. I started to question myself and I was scared and depressed. I randomly saw the video JOHN CENA - NEVER GIVE UP | SPEECH | FULL and it made me think and motivated to try again. I did and managed to successfully graduate. Then came, let's call it the final part, to truly work in the field of my dream I had to pass multiple exams and phases. I succeeded in some exams but failed the other 2 times. I only had 1 chance left; if I had failed that, I would have had to restart everything from the beginning and it would have felt like all this time spent and money was for nothing. I had a month to study back again. I again saw a random video that helped change my mentality GHOST EVERYONE. GRIND IN SILENCE. SHOCK THEM ALL. - Powerful Motivational Speech. That and my changing my study method allowed me to pass the third and final time and allowed me to advance to the second phase of my journey.

This is how it felt on the inside when I saw the result

I'm happy that after all the hardship and challenges I endured along this long journey, it's all paying off and coming to an end soon.
