Degree is in Information Systems/Information Technology. Graduated when tech market crashed. Brother was murdered in '97, went through 12 years of trials for two murderers, 5 jury trials, 3 appeals trials, 1 AZ Supreme Court appeal trial so far. It may be over, it may not be. We had a few hung jury(s) thus the reason for mulitiple trials. I had a lot of problems, I lost not only my brother, but my best friend. He was heinously murdered in my mother's home by a former employee. The former employee brought in a "bill collector" who is not only one of biggest sociopaths to walk the streets of Phoenix/Valley, he, guess what, also associates with said ppl. I took 1.5 years off to come home from Colorado to literally stay up nights at my mom's house with our 12ga "riot" home defender and my Glock. It took the authorities 9 months to identify the two perpetrators and 4 more years to get to the first trial.
During the aforementioned time, I had struggles. I had just turned 21 when Scott was murdered. Btw it was by punching, kicking, stomping, holding down and bludgeoning with sap gloves and at one point a pipe wrench. Coroner's estimated could have been anywhere from minimum of 40 to 90 blows struck all over my brother's body.
People have troubles in life. If they're strong enough, have a lot of support, and hopefully faith, they can rise again. I was on top of the world when that happened, it's taken me 16 years to get it back together, been totally sober for 5 now, I'll succeed either way, but a little help from Uncle Sam to become a productive member of society again wouldn't hurt. Asking for him to invest in me, the return on investment is usually considerably greater in a healthcare worker than just the 6.5% interest...
