Dear Alfred，
亲爱的阿尔弗雷德，

I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
我想告诉你，你的帮助对我的生活有多么重要。

Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADIID(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
在成长的过程中，总有人告诉我我太慢了，尽管如此，17岁时我的智商达到了150，我绝不是愚蠢的。事实是，我被诊断出患有ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）。我总是焦虑不安，无法一次集中注意力超过一个小时。

However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
然而，当某件事情引起我的兴趣时，我就能全神贯注。在高中时，我对计算机产生了好奇心，并建立了我的第一个网站。此外，我还完成了高级计算机基础课程以及五门相关的大学预科课程。

While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t . So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
当我在探索我的好奇心时，我的病情加重了。我想在高中毕业后去上大学，但我做不到。所以，我一直在家里打发时间，直到2012年6月，我发现了你培训中心的在线计算机课程。

Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
从那时起，我参加了数据科学和高级数学等课程。目前，我正在学习你的概率课程。我有数百张打印纸，上面写满了我根据你的视频自写的笔记。这给了我一个目标。

Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
去年，我花了所有时间寻找一份工作，在那里我可以独自工作，不用与公众打交道，但仍然有一个团队可以交流。幸运的是，我这个月发现了数据分析师这份工作，并一直在全力以赴。我想证明，即使不上大学，我也能自学一门受人尊敬的职业，并与我的竞争对手一样好，甚至更好。

Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
谢谢你。你给了我希望，让我可以追随我的心。第一次，我为自己所做的感到良好，而不是因为别人告诉我我做得好。我感到完整。

This is why you’re saving my life.
这就是为什么你在拯救我的生命。

Yours,
你的，

Tanis
