Like I felt that's been helpful because if not, it is super frustrating to have the fear and then feeling like...

Everything's outside of your control.

Like I actually remembered when I was in, actually when I was in high, it's funny when we were going back to IBM, when I was in high school, I actually didn't go into computer science or engineering.

Like I really wanted to be a visual artist.

And this is how far back we go back then computers were really expensive.

So I actually didn't even have access to a computer.

My first computer with access to computer was grade nine, I think, in high school.

I don't even know this happens in high school anymore.

My high school had a typing class where you had to class just to learn how to type on the keyboard and learn to be really proficient.

And that was my first time.

And then, you know, the next class was maybe like some HTML programming.

So anyways, but the reason why I fell in love with it was why what I love about art is creating and being able if you have an idea.

You can go ahead and create and tell a story.

And then I realized, oh, computers and programming, you know, that enables me to do that.

So anyways, I tried to really fast try to make up for all the, you know, science classes for me to get into university.

But I had this fear of, oh, but how will I afford to get into an engineering school?

And it was this big unknown.

I grew up in Ontario, so I was very grateful.

I knew there was an Ontario, you know, school assistance program, OSAP, I think it's called, which I'm very grateful for.

But I didn't know how much of that would cover my tuition or like expenses.
