<prompt> Human: I dont post on Reddit hardly at all. Logged in today because of a post about someones brother wanting to go to college after getting out of prison. I cant find the original post. Got side tracked and posted on a thread about scariest people. Anyway, I did 5 years. I qualified for a Pell grant. Based off of my income the previous tax year, which was zero, I was fully funded to begin my degree plan. After that I had to pay a portion because I was working, but please look into that as a start. I got my associates degree in welding technology. Now I am going after a bachelors to become a welding engineer. Also, I have worked my way up to running my own branch of a top welding supply company. I hope this finds the person I read about.  <response>: Good for you man. Nicely done.
