I am thrilled about your article always. If you can, I guess you have every opportunity to still go back to college and also overcome your fears of being a dropout. I have similar experience and at 26 I decided to go back to college and I still learning software development and no job yet or even internships. But above all I vowed to myself to overcome not being a graduate and also to accomplish my academic goals.

Trecia I am a student , just started coding last month, reading stories like yours make me feel good and are inspiring.

All the best for the rest of your life.

Thank you for sharing your journey and being an inspiration. It was validating to hear other self-taught developers also suffer from self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Glad I’m not the only one. Keep working hard. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

Congratulations on your job [Trecia Kat](https://hashnode.com/@TreciaKS) 🥳🥳🥳

It was beautiful hearing your story. **Rome indeed was not built in a day** - I will keep reminding myself of this.

All the best Trecia 🤗🤗

More often than not, all of the videos and blog posts I've read so far with the title of _how-I-got-a-job-in-tech-with-no-qualifications_ usually mean that the OP **_does_** have a diploma/degree, just not one that is specialized in tech.

Reading them as someone with only a high school certificate, I find it hard to relate, and that kind of further deepened my inferiority complex.

Your story is the first one I truly resonate with - you have no idea how inspiring you are! I'll be sure to follow your story on Twitter 😊

Congratulations, [Trecia Kat](https://hashnode.com/@TreciaKS) ! 🎉

Keep on doing what you're doing; you're amazing ❤️

Thank you for the inspiration this morning dear. Your story has really given me hope. I hope to fall back to your stories when it gets dark and cloudy during my learning journey.

Congrats 🎊 Trecia on overcome everything and getting to the point u r right now , I'm really happy for u I just read the story and it's so inspiring, I was something that I really needed to read at this point in my life.

I'm haveing some issues with either I continue Uni or not or do I listen to my parent and persu medicine Even though it used to be my dream but now I I'm enjoying being a developer

Also I can relate to the guilt thing that u mentioned in the final thought It is real hard to deal with, but I know both of u will be able to overcome it one day

I think I talked alot 😁 I will stop here.

GOOD LUCK Tercia with all my heart ❤️❤️❤️

[Trecia Kat](https://hashnode.com/@TreciaKS) Oya, I already remembered. Do you know which account of Youtuber, Twitter or any roadmap shows me how to do 100 challenges in coding? I want to do that and account for my progress using Twitter or linkedin

Congrats Trecia, am segun from Nigeria your tech journey really inspire me, could you be my mentor (someone I would be able to relate and learn from). Thanks, if you can help, reply me so I can send a message on Twitter.
