It came about because of my job promotion. There's a lot of computer use, and I'm the only one in the entire store that knows the basics of computers, so I get called on all the time to fix the majority of the problems. It's just a nice feeling to realize that I fixed a machine that was giving someone else a problem, so I'd like to do that on a larger scale.
Again, I'm so glad that everything worked out for you! And it really is true that getting through horrible events makes someone stronger. For me, this time last year was the absolute worst, but things have gotten much better. And I wouldn't be the person that I am now if that stuff didn't happen. Nor would I appreciate the good in life as much as I do now.
