My name is Eugene. I'm 41 years old and I live in this country:

Why am I in STEAM and now I write here?
Two years ago I decided to completely change my life. I was pushed by this one unpleasant event.
In that period of my life, I have about 7 years working as a taxi driver. By the standards of our country, this job enabled me to earn quite well.
It was a wonderful September day. I went to a health centre as usual to undergo a medical examination before leaving for work (it's mandatory in our country). And when I needed to go 100 meters, the other car drove towards into my lane of traffic.
Hit. I was taken to the hospital, and my car (I worked on my own car), which before the crash was worth $10000, was worth $2000 (so I was later able to sell what was left of it) after crash.
From the hospital I went out already operated and with gypsum on the entire left leg.
Belarus has the corrupt government. The one who crashed into me in that accident was with connections(lobby?). He arranged so that they made me guilty in that accident.
I fell into a severe depression.
But after half a year (by this time I already removed the plaster and started to walk a litle) I realized that I needed to change my life. Completely! Absolutely!
Firstly, I declared war on the depression (I will write about this experience as it may help someone else).
Enough! There were two main goals: 1) to learn how to earn a lot, 2) to leave Belarus.
I always had a technical mindset and even when I studied at a technical University, a teacher of higher mathematics invited me to the Department.
So, I decided to study programming.
But for this it was necessary to save up money (for courses and for life). After all, I chose the method of deep dive.
At this time in the Belarus economy, there was a severe crisis and I had to work almost a year to collect the necessary sum ($1500).
And for the past year I have been studying programming. Over the years I learned the basics of Java, basics of HTML, CSS, a little PHP. Start JavaScript. And of course learn English.
I misjudged my strength and has not yet become a programmer. But I know for sure that I will not back down!
There is one difficulty. I ran out of savings. That's why I decided to write in the STEEM.
A few days ago, I learned about STEEM and immediately decided to write here asking for help.
I don't need much. According to my estimate is about $2000. This should be enough to continue studying and to return a small debt.
Why can not I earn again? I'm looking for a job. But they offer a payment of about $ 300 per month. I have to work again for almost a year. I'm not afraid of it. But I have a very strong desire to become a programmer quickly.
I want to continue to learn Java as the main language. Also interesting Ruby, JavaScript. Very interesting blockchain.
There is already the idea of creating a global application that should help people get dressed. But there is not enough knowledge in programming yet.
I believe that the world is full of good people! And even if there are 2,000 people here ready to share only $ 1, then the right amount will be typed.
If you decide to transfer me a few tokens, a first look at how much I have on my account. If there is already $ 2000, it is not necessary to list.
I thank you in advance for even the smallest coin.
I wish good to everyone! Let any trouble bypass you! :-)
P.S. Forgive me for my English - it's still far from perfect. And I used a language translator. :)
