I have so much gratitude and thanks [for] this program, because, without it, I would have never gotten here. I definitely do not believe that I would have gotten this job if it wasn't for this program. It really has changed my life. And I couldn't be more happy [with] where I am at right now. I love my job now. I think it's awesome. It's amazing to have that option to work from home.
