Final Words of Advice for Others Looking to Make a Change?

You can do it. Even if people don't believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.

Everyone thinks that greatness is some god-like unreachable asterisk thing that only the great can do when anyone can do it if they dream and dedicate themselves to. There is sacrifice but after sacrifice is success so it is up to you if you want to get that job, it's up to you if you want to get to the next level.
