Guy who erns 4.6$ a day facing family issues, traditional education issues, etc.

I'm from India my dad died when I was 4, and my single mom raised my sister and me by working as a maid my mom never went to school. because we belong to impoverished families but she and my old grandpa have admitted me into public school. I drop out of school in 10th because I need to help my mom financially, I started doing a job in from16, and my place was tough I became a drug addict but I was always curious about everything, and I wasted my 3 years. but I always wanted to change my situation, I started reading books I was barely able to read English I translated every word to understand its meaning.
one night I faced an anxiety attack and my brain started running like a horse. I loosed my control over real-life but thank god I was interested in reading about psychology, and how the human brain works. I used to stole books from illegal sites, which am feel guilty about sometimes. then i never did drugs i started working in small company i switched few jobs, while stared applying for 10th to continue my education, i failed 5 times but i still tried and passed out. i love reading but plz don't judge me. I'm an indiscipline learner, i like reading about physics, self-improvement, psychology, quantum mechanics, philosophy but im really bad at traditional education.
so now I'm not a drug addict anymore, I'm working a part-time job and taking a course in digital marketing yes I took a loan I bought a laptop. my monthly salary is 140$ and my EMI is 89$ for class and 43$ for laptop. so mom went to our native place because my sis is pregnant. i know i took big the risk, i dont know im going to get job after as in digital marketer based on my educational background.
All i know is, I'm 23 i have so such time to try things i don't want to die with regrets.
so many people told me this is stupid move but i did what feels most alive to me. i have fully operating brain and body that's my asset. i don't know society gonna accept me or not but I'm doing what i think is best for me. i did so many mistakes but i cant waste my time on those things. i need look forward and keep griding until my last breath. i believe if there is a will there is way.
my fav internet teacher quoted,
"Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
Richard Feynman

ReplyHi Richard I must say that I am glad that you are working towards your goal and should at least make something of yourself. If I was your mother I would be very proud of you. This shows that kids with a single parent can succeed.
I am a single mother and both of my sons went to university and have good jobs.
I wish you the very best for your future.
