From what you said, I see a very productive and well rounded person.
You have accomplished the hard part of life. You are a winner.

I'm not qualified to give you any specific advise, olny to wish you the best
in your future endeavors. Hang in there. You already did the heavy lifting.
Your words echo something someone very close to me told me in the hospital a couple weeks ago. Its been very hard for me to digest, he said "you know one of the biggest problems I see for you is that you don't give yourself any credit, you've never developed self worth." I didn't want to hear this but I have come to accept there is a great deal of truth in it for me. My perception of myself has never aligned or even approached that of which what others seem to see in me. I never learned to love me.
Thank you so very much, we don't always have to have formal training to make a positive impact in someone else's world. You've certainly done that for me today!
