Jeetu PatelGUEST
I'm like, alright.
Jeetu PatelGUEST
And the next day I enrolled at Harper College in Chicago to not next day but like a few days later to a computer science course and I loved it and I became a lab assistant over there and I would teach people and that became very cool and one thing led to the other and then I actually transferred from a two year community college to a four year college and I I was really hand-to-mouth at the time, didn't have enough money, and then one of my professors said, I'm going to give you a teaching assistantship as an undergrad for undergrads, which had never happened.
Jeetu PatelGUEST
She petitioned to the vice chancellor, and I got that, and I became a teaching assistant, and so I was teaching everyone, and I loved teaching, and that gave me a lot of confidence, and I used to wait on tables, and that gave me a lot of confidence because I used to stutter.
Jeetu PatelGUEST
And so waiting on tables, all of a sudden my stuttering went away because something flipped in the brain that said you have to entertain people and be more extroverted than what you are naturally.
