I think i've always been a curious person. I like looking at things and trying to figure out how they work. I think that mentality has served me well in my professional life. My problem has been that i seem to get to situations where I'm working places and end up running into a time when there are no more puzzles to solve. I end up stuck and find myself in occupations and positions where I have no advancement or growth opportunity. This is what ultimately drew me to programming. There is a vast amount to learn even just within a single language, and then there are so many more languages to learn.

My brother came to Turing before I did and had such positive things to say about the experience that, when I was looking for a career change, I couldn't help but look into it. What I found there was an opportunity for myself unlike any other I had encountered before: a chance to find fulfilling work in a field that has almost no limit to what I could learn and the direction I could grow.

After Turing, I would like to find myself somewhere I could solve interesting problems with like-minded people. I'm open to where that could be and what that will look like, as long as I can feel like I'm being challenged and able to satisfy my inate curiosity on a professional level.

Hey Mike, this is a strong draft, nice work! Please check through it for capitalization errors -- most of your "I" statements do not have capitalization when they should. Thanks!
