Well first my dad lost his job since the place he worked at replaced him with someone younger. But thankfully my brother got a job to support the family. I too plan on getting a job during and after college for the exact same reason. I would not be where I am today without them. Another issue that I am currently able to cope with much easier is my asthma. I have a small but significant handle on my health condition now and I can show up to school more often without worrying about the next time I end up out of breath wheezing for long periods of time. Now to address the skills I have to offer to your college, since I want to go into computer engineering I wouldn’t be completely lost in the subject since I already understand all the basics and I would have the certification to back that up. I will definitely be self motivated and use my free time to study the subject so I don’t end up lost in the information and fail the class.
