-Personal development: Felt misplaced at college as a 1st gen, attended less and less classes and found refuge in an online video game where I ended up competing on international level and was well respected in the community. Meanwhile well below average grades and almost dropped out --> Had to make decision what do I want from life? Decided to lean into college, within the last two semesters that were left, improved my grades drastically and ended up graduating at least slightly above average. This was the spark which ignited a fire, making me feel that I actually do deserve to be where I am (graduating college) for the first time and it was when I started working where I had my final breakthrough and am (the/a) top performer ever since
