"Recently before I went to that event, I was honestly thinking about trying to find another career to pursue because I was thinking that this field was narrow and I wouldn't be able to do anything exciting. So I want to thank you and the people that helped put that event together for inspiring me and giving me hope in the field of IT. I just want to thank you for creating such a session that regenerated my interest in this field. "
