Hey man, it's Tyler. I feel as though DevMountain did alot to help you. Even to the point of when you left you literally told me you had nothing but good things to say about DevMountain. You were in our program for 6 weeks and received a ton of training and help. Then, after the run in with legal troubles, we legally had to let you go. Our hands were tied as a professional schooling institution. It was unfortunate because you were seriously one of the top students. You think we wanted to let you go? We did not. We loved having you around. We even refunded every cent of your tuition because of the situation you were thrown into. That is a school who cares. That is a program who cares about it's students. You even landed a job after our program. I really don't know what much more we could have done for you given the situation. I really don't know how you can continue to say that you were ripped off? And most importantly: Do not give up. You will not get the first position you apply into. Nor the second one. Maybe you have to send dozens of applications without a result. But that's not in vain. In that process, you'll learn about yourself. You'll learn what you know best and what you are passionate about. And after you have figured that out, you modify your application and send it to the next company and before you know it you got yourself a job. When I have been between jobs I have listed companies with open positions and sent few (4-5) applications per day. First day I usually start from the least ideal/desirable company and work my way towards the dream jobs in. Every day I have read and modified my resume and sent the new version to few other companies. Sometimes less than 10% of these companies have interviewed me and it has taken about ten interviews before I have found a company that is willing to hire me. So it will take time and effort but you will learn so a lot during the process. |

Can you imagine trying to escape poverty, moving 2200 miles from home with the hope of starting a new life only to see it collapse like it did? That's a pretty traumatic thing to go through, especially with no friends/family in the area.
When we were in Moab, all I could think about was coming back and starting my project. That was what brought me to Utah. The kid who told on me went through my room when I was in Moab, I know because the cop couldn't find any weed so he left my room to talk to him again. I heard him whisper to the cop, 'check the closet, in the suitcase, outside pocket'. Another student there advised him not to call the cops for something so small and petty. He did it anyways He ended up kicked out himself for God-knows-what. It was a very traumatic experience, a wound that still stings no matter how much I try to forget it.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm trying to sabotage your business, that is not my intention. I'm a college dropout, first-generation American trying to escape poverty. I hope there is a day in the future where my 14 month adventure throughout Utah will be seen in only a positive light because of how much I learned about life out there but it can't happen until I at least make some progress towards my original goal of being able to build what I dream.
Anyways, to make things right I'll drop this whole experience and let it go best I can. The biggest pain for me was my roommate, who seemed to have issues with everyone there but one person. I understand you had no control over that, so I forgive DevMtn.
Sorry again, I'm just struggling to keep my dream alive because it seems like there is a plot twist every time I make a few months of progress.
On the bright side: I've learned how to live through another form of adversity. If all this doesn't kill me, it will make me stronger when it all comes together.
