Manuj:

He grew up in a small town. A friendly child, his home was troubled. he withdrew into a shell, becoming aloof and angry. At age 15, he started working in a factory. Manuj worked 12 hours/day with only $2 as a daily salary. In 1995, a new computer institute (Aptech) threw its doors open in his town. Tuition was greater than a year’s salary, but he scraped together funds for the first class where he found his passion: Computers and Programming. After meeting his wife, they traveled to Canada to start a new life. While in Canada, Manuj had to overcome enormous challenges and today he is excelling and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. Going from $2/day to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 reinforced my belief that anything is possible.
