Eve, I love your Bob Marley quote, "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice". So true. You seem pretty gritty and smart to me, probably because somewhere deep down you know you are strong, have had to be.

It isn't what someone already knows that makes them a good employee or suitable for most jobs ... it is their willingness to learn and their good moral character that count above all else. Lean on those qualities because you've already got 'em. Let them shine! (And ask for help to fill in any gaps you can't figure out on your own with a honest, humble approach when you need it :-) Certain path to success.

(((Hugs)))
