I totally got lucky. My parents bought a family computer when I was a kid and for some reason I thought it was cool. Since then, it was a given that I would work in computers. I’m a software engineer now.
There was a brief moment in university where I failed math and physics—twice—and I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I ended up switching to a similar major, but without those classes as requirements.
