i think it's astonishing that i went from the lowest (Förderhauptschule in psychiatric clinic) to the highest (kit.edu university) form of German education in only 3 years

i had to switch through 4 different schools for that and always adjust to an even higher difficulty that was totally new when i switched

i even skipped one year, and this kind of journey is one of the rarest and hardest battles you can fight in this education system because of course the school won't do anything to help you in this fucked up bureaucratic process

i also did the delta exam at university of Mannheim which allows me to study at a university even though i don't have a fully qualifying Abitur/degree, and its success rate is also really low

i went through so many hoops and obstacles to be where i am now, like i ran away from home at 17 while i did my final degree while suing my parents, then i was homeless in Berlin for a while and then i moved to Karlsruhe to study at the hardest and most prominent computer science university of Germany :D

and now i'm here, with ~7 years of DevOps experience as a 19 year old and still i'm struggling to find a job that will prevent me from becoming homeless again because of the tech bubble job market crash
