High agency is your greatest asset when the odds are stacked against you. Growing up with limited resources teaches you that waiting for perfect conditions means waiting forever. You learn that nobody's coming to save you, not because the world is cruel, but because everyone's fighting their own battles. High agency means you stop asking "why me?" and start asking "what's next?" It's seeing every constraint as a puzzle to solve, not a wall to stop you. No connections? Build them. No capital? Start where you are. No mentors? Books, podcasts, and observation become your university. The beautiful paradox: those who start with less often develop more agency. When you've never had a safety net, you learn to build wings on the way down. You become resourceful in ways that privilege can't teach. Your background isn't your destiny, it's your training ground. Every obstacle you've overcome has been building your agency muscle. The hunger that comes from scarcity, when channeled right, becomes the drive that refuses to accept "that's just how things are." The path isn't about forgetting where you came from. It's about using that perspective as fuel. You see opportunities others miss because you've learned to create value from nothing. Agency isn't about denying systemic barriers exist, it's about refusing to let them have the final word on your story.

Another One: Switched from crypto to writing to marketing to graphics design to UI/UX to AR/VR till I got to Data all between 2019 and 2022 while still studying Pharmacy. Got my first Data Engineer role few months after graduation. Currently working as DE in FinTech.

to use school WiFi to study the bootcamp classes for that day and do the assignments. Around 8pm, I will be going home to read my books and prepare for next paper. I passed my exams and I completed that bootcamp

I've done plenty. But the one that stood out for me was when I was actively participating in a writing bootcamp while I was writing my Pharmacy Exams. My mates would go home to revise their books after exams for the next paper but I will go to a friend's hostel

Held my green card for the first time last week 🥹💕✨

I’ve got balloons to pop.🥳
