Hello - Not to give up

Hi, I just joined WSO and after getting into long discussions about strategies to get into target schools thought I'd stop by and introduce myself.

I was an irresponsible kid and lousy student in college and have paid for it with a string of fairly dead end jobs. Nearly a decade later I worked hard and finally got accepted to a MS in computer science degree program at a target school. I encourage anyone who did badly in college not to give up. There are many ways to reach your goals.
