They said I was wasted potential.
My parents.
My teachers.
The admissions counselors.
That college was out of reach for me.
They said it served me right:
for skipping school
to play with my computers…
wasting away my potential.
In our family everyone goes to Harvard,
but I was supposedly
not even getting into a community college.
I admitted myself into Harvard.
Computers were never a waste of time.
I’m a hacker.
Self-taught.
Today I make an 8-figure salary
working with the government.
What do you do?
