Can you explain to me what is meant by pushing the boundaries and the future of cyber?

Can you tell me when you first knew you wanted a career in cyber? 

What struggles have you endured in this time? If any?

What activities have you participated in? (hackathons/capture the flag etc) 

What would you recommend to those in high school or even someone who is already in a career but is looking for something more?
