Turning my life around in SG as a 30 yr old ex con wanting to get into tech
Hi there. Never really did this kinda thing before but here goes. There is always a first time for everything and never try never know.
I am a 30 yr old M. I spent a good chunk of my life in Boy;s Home, prison and almost went to the death row (I am alr expecting some folks to flame me but wtv).
WHat led me down this road you might wonder. I came from an ok family where mum was a home maker and dad was a captain of oil tankers (ships that transport oil) which meant he was off shore for 6months - 1 year at a time. He was never around for my childhood but I am not complaining because I understood that he had to put food on the table for us and that was the only way for us to have the blessed life we had.
Mum was always looking after us but she had depression but she was in denial.She beat, stabbed, poured boiling water, attempted to drown and burnt both my sister and I. So i started to run away from home and the new found freedom in the world became a drug to me. I would always run away but that too came with a price. Between 9 - 13 years old I was almost raped by a tranny and molested by 2 men on sperate occasions. All because I was literally going person to person begging for $2 to buy a macd burger.
I got bullied in boy's home very badly and sexually assaulted. Then i became a monster. I beat, stabbed, and slashed people. Joined gangs and fough. Went on to get involved in the dr*gs industry. Narrowly escaped death row and then still got into trouble.
But I have been trying to turn my life around. I am finishing my diploma in SIM. I am gunning for a dgree in comp science (even tho my math is bad) but tech is my only shot of making money.
i am looking for friends. People who want to build something meaningful.people who want to give back to society. People whoare constructive in life and want more than just 9-5 and not for the wrong reasons. I hate sleasy sales people (been there done that).
My hands are shaking as i type this. I did not realise that it would be this bad. I just want to grow with the right group of people.
