Welcome to my life

Beginning

I was born in Varna Bulgaria 1993. My childhood, which seems like a dream more than a memory, was very.. easy! I was very fortunate to have a famous uncle, Mihail Mihailov aka BigSha (https://www.facebook.com/bigshaofficial). With that being said, everyone wanted to be my friend. I'd like to rep Counter Strike real quick considering i grew up playing it and still do to this day.
At age 5, my mother won a Green Card through some type of lottery system. She then left to begin a new life for us in the USA. By this point, my parents had separated and i was put under my uncle and my grandparent's care. Knowing very little English, she became a waitress and struggled through some very tough times. I applaud her for her courage immensely.
My grandparents are the real MVP here. They have been supportive , with my uncle's success, my childhood freedom, and my mother's decision to leave home to start a new life overseas. I cannot put into words how incredibly grateful i am to have them in my life. My father was a great influence on my views today as well. I am very humble because of him and enjoy the natural aspects of life to a further extent.

Limbo

At age 9, i moved to the USA, leaving my old life behind. At this point, my mother had met someone and i had a little brother! When I arrived, the place we lived in was a basement that was rented out. Skip forward a bit, we moved to a mid sized house.

Middle school This is where something really important happened in my life. I had a crush on a girl who liked skater boys.
I had bought my first skateboard for 20$ from some kid and spend countless hours with my wheels in a crack on the sidewalk teaching myself how to Ollie! The plot twist is that i fell in love with skateboarding rather than the girl!

High School My mother and step dad had been working their asses off and we moved to a half a million dollar house in the suburbs. I had quite a bit of fun in high school and i have stacks of detention slips to prove it! Anywhere from walking out of class with my best friend to roam the hallways to leaving a couple hours early to go skate and drifting through the parking lot in front of all the kids still in class. Looking back 6 years after i "graduated", it is becoming difficult to remember some details.
I'm sure you noticed i put " " around the word graduated. I had completely neglected my grades, homework, and tests. My senior year, realizing that i would have to repeat a year, i dropped out. This doesn't sound very great, but i'm not an idiot. The same week i dropped out, i took the GED test and passed without any issue nor having to take prep classes.

Digging myself in a hole
At age 19, i moved out of my parent's house without a notice. I would now be staying in my friend's basement basically for free.
I did not have a job, car, nor much money saved. Soon after, i found a moving company and my boss would pick me up for work daily. Starting at 10$/hour +tips, worked my way up to 13$/hour + tips. The work wasn't very consistent but it was enough. This was also when my Diablo days began. Diablo 3 was my life. My greatest feat was that i played Diablo 3 for 72 hours straight, with breaks only to make sandwiches and use the bathroom. At this point i became closer friends with a friend whom i payed many hours of Minecraft, Diablo 3, and Starcraft with.

Him and his girlfriend were in the process off separating. Soon after, well same day actually ( i helped her get her stuff out so i can move mine in), i had moved into the 2 bed 2 bath apartment. We were very excited! We both played the same games and we both love skateboarding. Note that he was a 19 year old senior developer for a medical company and very good at what he does. Our difference was that i didn't have a job and he was very successful already. Although, it never felt like that. We would always share everything and without him, i probably wouldn't be where i am today. I grabbed the first job i could find. I became a housekeeper at Motel 6.... I would walk/bike to work to clean toilets for minimum wage for the next half a year.
Motel 6 is not a place to settle. I quit without notice one day in the middle of the day, therefore burning my bridge with them. I did this in order to not have the option to go back. EVER. A couple months later, i stumbled across an opportunity to get my foot in the door with the trucking business. Starting at 10$/hour, year and half later at 20$/hour. I bought a ford probe, then a Nissan 350, and finally a 2014 Mercedes CLA 250 practically brand new. At this point, the come up was real, my roomate and i moved to a 3 bed 3 bath two story house two car garage.

There were various issues though. The trucking business is very stressful. Especially when your company uses you. I was the center point of the company. Everybody would come to me for help considering i retain information very well and am fairly good with technology. I had also become very professionally mannered at this point. There were a few months where i would take one of the strongest pre-workouts, MrHyde, daily in order to be able to do work for 3 people.
I was not paid overtime considering i worked 45 hours/week, would rarely take full lunch breaks in order to keep up, stayed :45-1:30 hours after work almost daily without pay, would need to come in one Saturday per month for 4 hours without pay, and acquired higher responsibilities without any pay raise in my last year and half. It is clear why i couldn't stay. I had been trapped and had to get out.
In this past year, i met my girlfriend and we moved into an apartment together. Soon after, i was looking for the first opportunity i can get to quit the trucking business.
This is where my crypto currency success came in and allowed me to.
Within my first month of trading on Poloniex, i had made a 3400% profit on my 800$ investment.

This brings us to the present. Age 24, unemployed entrepreneur working on building up my crypto rig farm while trading actively.
The future looks bright and i can't wait to share it with you.
There is a lot i can learn from you guys here in steemit and am looking forward to it!
