    Your videos have helped me a lot. I am a 47 year old single mom going back to school to become a website design/developer. All of the code languages are very overwhelming, but your stories are very inspiring to me. I need a good pep talk from time to time because sometimes I don't feel worthy. My drive to succeed is definitely there, it's just that I second guess myself sometimes. Thanks for all your videos. They are very informative.
