“What holds me back is life because I have to work so I can provide for the family and pay bills and being a full time student with hob and and family to take care of is a little hard and also we don’t have the financial support, but what makes me move forward is that I will have a better future if I finish this. What holds me back mostly is finances, gas, etc. We all are wanting to improve for what the future will bring. My goal is to stay home. I do not have to worry about parking working from home. This allows me to work as much as I would like.”
