偶然入了黑客的坑，混日子的人生直接被重启

“小时候我好奇心很强，喜欢把电器拆开，再自己装回去，就为了看看还能不能用。但到了十来岁，就完全失去热情了。我家变得很阴沉，在表象上和实质上都是。

灯总是关着，我父母还总在吵架。我们几乎不说话，即便说了，也不过短短几句。我每天只想赶快逃离，也没放什么心思在学习上，整个人一直闷闷不乐的。我就那样浑浑噩噩地混日子，最后找了份工作，也不咋感兴趣。

但后来有一天，我在办公电脑上下载了个程序，这个程序让我有了控制整个网络的权限。它带我入了黑客这个坑，之后我就彻底陷进去了，每天都觉得备受启发。

再后来，我开始自学所有相关的东西，竟然发现还能合法地做黑客。所以我重回学校了，准备拿下信息安全专业学位。”

“I’d always been very curious as a kid. I remember taking apart electronics and putting them back together, just to see if they’d still work. But I lost all that enthusiasm during my teenage years. My house became very dark, literally and figuratively.

The lights were always off. My parents were always fighting. We never spoke to each other, and if we did, it was always in short sentences. All I cared about was getting out. I put the minimal amount of effort into school. I was angry all the time. I went through life without any goals and ended up getting a job that I wasn’t passionate about.

But then one day I downloaded a program onto my office computer that gave me control over the entire network. It was my introduction to hacking, and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. I feel inspired every day.

I started learning everything I could. I even discovered you can do it legally, so I’m back in school, getting my degree in information security.”
