I come from a poor family. Paying college bills was not possible for us. So I took a year off and learned web development. Then I started freelancing on upwork. Surely there was bad clients and good ones. It took a lot of hard work at first. But without upwork it would've been impossible to continue my study. Without upwork, I would be working as a labourer on the corner a factory. Thank you Upwork.
