7. Why i.c.stars?
Before i.c.stars I was working at the warehouse and at the time it was cool
because that was the highest paying job I’ve ever had, but I knew I couldn’t stay
there for too long. I always had dreams of work in IT and when I was in college
taking my first software programing class my teacher spoke to us as if one day
we would be doing an internship and at the time I didn’t think too much of it.
When I came across the opportunity it was the perfect time for me to take the
next step in my journey to finding my career, and now I’m here in pursuit, to
fulfilling my dreams

role in my successful journey and I’d like to thank all the staff and everyone
