Where I used to work before on Sundays, like this, sometimes I'm at work at this time. I, I, I won't get the opportunity to go anywhere on the weekend with my kids to do anything because I'm at work. But having this opportunity right now, it gives me the freedom to do this.
I personally, I used to be in the healthcare industry, and you know how it is over there. I mean, I mean, like a lot of, um, overtime or your working shifts. So, and then when I started this, it didn't look, it didn't, it wasn't looking like I, I was going to be able to do it because I didn't have any single, um, background in it. I didn't have.
And I came in here, attended the class, I mean, paid attention, participated in in class. It didn't look at the end, it didn't look like, I mean, like I knew anything they were talking about. Everything was looking very vague and strange. But the, the, the desire in me to, to want to do something better for my life, I mean, the desire to achieve more, the desire to, to want to do better, gave me, I mean, gave me the drive to do my extra researches and put in the work. I did put, I did put in the work.
We have good resources here. This, the instructors are available for us. That's a, that's, that's one of the, the, the perks of this program. The, the instructors are available. If you have questions, P is always there, Solomon is there, Blessing is there, Anna is there. You can ask and they will respond to you.
And then on my own, I, whenever I have interviews after the, after the program, I started applying for jobs. And you have, you still have the support of the, of the team here. If you start a job, you don't know what you're doing, you can reach out and they will, I mean, pay you to someone that will coach you through the, whatever, whatever thing you're working on. So.
But some of the people, people like me, I didn't get a job my first interview. I interviewed for like, like on my seventh interview and I was able to get a job. It wasn't like very strange for me. I like, really, this someone believed what I was saying and decided to give me a job, and I was very happy.
So when I started the first, when I started my, my first assignment, I was giving, I was like, man, I don't know what to do. I reached out to Uch and he referred to Solomon. And Solomon gave me, I mean, he gave me the, the, the confidence to talk to my boss in the office. And that gave me the, the, the confidence to talk to about, tell him this is how it's supposed to be done. This is how it's supposed to be done. Where, where I'm coming from, this is how we used to do it. You should do this. And my boss was very happy with me. Like, oh, that, that's very good. That's very good. You have the, the resources to help you in this.
And then when it comes to the pay, even you can't even, you can't even compare where I'm coming from and what I, what, what I'm having right now. You understand? From earning some like 30k in a year to earning, I mean, six figures in a year. It's, you can't compare.
The final freedom and flexibility I have right now to do things without thinking too much of like, okay, let me do this calculation, do this calculation. So this is a great opportunity. All you have to do is put, put in your mind and this team is there to like help you achieve these things. These things is possible. It is possible with myself. I know it is possible and I know this is just the beginning for me. I, I, I know going, I'm going to move to greater heights and do greater things with this.
