Dear Alfred，
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. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
在我成长的过程中，有人告诉我我太慢了，尽管我17岁的智商是150，我一点也不笨。我被发现患有ADID（注意力缺陷多动障碍）。我一直焦虑不安，无法集中注意力超过1小时以上。
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，当我对某件事感兴趣时，我就会全神贯注。高中时，我对电脑产生了好奇心，并创建了我的第一个网站。此外，我还完成了计算机基础的高级课程，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.
当我探索我的好奇心时，我的病更加严重了。高中毕业后我想上大学，但不能如愿。所以，我一直待在家里消磨时间，直到2012年6月我发现了你们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.
从那以后，我修了数据科学和高等数学等课程。目前，我正在学习概率论。我打印了数百张纸，上面都是你视频中的笔记。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，我花了我所有的时间寻找一份不需要与公众打交道的工作，我可以独自工作，但仍然需要一个团队可以交流。幸运的是，我在这个月找到了数据分析师的工作，并且一直全力以赴。我想证明，我可以在不上大学的情况下自学一门受人尊敬的专业，即使不比我的竞争对手更好，也能和他们一样优秀。
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.
非常感谢你给了我希望，我可以追随我的内心。我第一次自我感觉良好，因为我在做事，而不是因为有人告诉我我做得很好。我感觉很充实。
This is why you’re saving my life.
这就是你拯救了我的原因。
Yours,
Tanis
