What brought you to USA SoC?

I work as a Staff Engineer at Global Tel Link where the company sponsors employees in their continuing ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥.  I want to take advantage of this benefit to better myself and keep myself busy during  the pandemic.  My dad wanted me to earn a graduate degree a long time ago and pay for it.  I took a leap of faith after 21 years to go back to school to achieve a dream that I never thought I would.  I think this is the best time to do it where I get support from the company I work with and still able to work full time and take care of my 3 kids.  

The best part of it is I enjoy and love what I am doing. The University of South ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ is known to be one of the best universities on the Gulf Coast that provide higher ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ in Information Systems.  It is good to work and learn at the same time from the best professor known.
