I’m sorry you’re getting this kind of negativity Victoria for, what I thought, was a very inspiring post.

Unfortunately there are going to be people who insist on reminding us that we are less than because of the route we chose to go in life. I want to hope that group of people is a small minority. I don’t need someone tellIng me that what I’ve done is not an accomplishment because they did more. What a horrible thing to say to someone.

The post is inspiring and very well written. Don't let the negativity take that away. What we've accomplished is that, an accomplishment.

I'm choosing to also hope that this is the view of the minority. More and more companies are starting to integrate apprenticeship programs for those with non-traditional backgrounds. If companies are investing time and money to create programs for people like us there is obviously room for us here, as well as people supporting us and rooting for our success.
