When Javier enrolled, some of his friends asked, "Why now?"
He said he had postponed his dreams for too long. He told them that he had always wanted to study systems but life had taken him in a different direction.

He explained that his son had once told him, "You’re an example of discipline and courage." Javier said that this had given him the push he needed.

Javier admitted that the beginning wasn’t easy. He said he had thought about quitting during the first semester.

He remembered telling himself, "Maybe this is too much for me."

But later he explained that he had reminded himself that fear and failure are part of growth.

One of his professors told him, "You have the potential to go far."

Javier said that those words had helped him keep going. Now, he has worked on small projects, learned automation, and even helped classmates with databases.

He encourages others to follow their goals, even if they feel it's too late.

He proudly shared that he had learned not only programming, but also resilience, humility, and hope.
