[bitheerani93]

I'll be honest, as I always do. I didn't plan on being a marketing professional at the beginning. I think that when we're young and facing the decision to go to college, we don't always have a clear idea of ​​our skills. In fact, many of them may not even be developed yet. Today, I'm 33 years old and the world has changed a lot. We have broad access to information and professions have been mixing and reinventing themselves a lot. But, at 17, I didn't even know what it was like to be a professional in a certain area. It was difficult to have access to knowledge based on the real routine of a profession.

Furthermore, I was extremely shy and el salvador mobile database really know what I was good at. I couldn't afford an expensive course and the closest thing to what I wanted, at that time, was only available at a private university. Even so, I didn't feel completely passionate about the subject and I confess that I started college with little enthusiasm. All I knew was that I liked Spanish because I was motivated to study the subject after having received an old book from my grandfather, who was from a Spanish family. The course was the most affordable and I enrolled in just a few credits. So, I continued taking the Literature course.

Day-to-day life showed me that I really didn't like the subject and I didn't see myself teaching Portuguese for the rest of my life. I already loved technology, my father had given me and my brother a computer as a gift, which at the time was limited to a few games and a few years later to dial-up internet. Cell phones and Google didn't exist yet. But even though I liked technology, it wasn't enough to study a course in the exact sciences, for example.
