How can I turn the challenges I’ve faced in managing chronic illness and limited mobility into strengths that set me apart in the competitive world of remote IT careers?

As someone living with chronic illness and limited mobility, I’ve had to develop strong self-discipline, time management, and problem-solving skills to succeed in my online IT studies at Strayer University. I chose this path not only for the flexibility it offers, but because I’ve discovered a genuine passion for technology and remote work. Despite physical challenges, I’ve earned certifications, maintained consistent progress, and found creative ways to stay focused and productive from home. My dream is to land a remote IT job where I can continue growing, learning, and contributing meaningfully without being limited by my health. I want to understand how to turn my personal obstacles into professional advantages that show employers I bring not just skills—but resilience, determination, and adaptability.
