IS 101 - Finale

IS 101 has definitely been one of my favorite classes so far. Mr. Wu gave us more than just computer literacy lessons. The life lessons he gave us were some, that people still don't understand in their later years. Time management, persistence, and perseverance are just to name a few.
Although a lot of us never really spoke to each other, we still got to know each other through our blog post and Powerpoint presentations. We were able to post about life's crushing events,  achievements, and our future goals. No matter what the post was about, we showed support and gave advice.
I am truly grateful for Mr. Wu and this entire class. It wasn't easy but Mr. Wu was there to guide us the whole way through. I hope everybody stays persistent and achieves their goals. This class was full of good people that I know are going to make it no matter what field they chose. Good luck to everybody and I hope our paths cross again.

I will also try to post about my CCENT results if anybody is interested.

CCNA and Helpful Podcasts

Just passed my final for my CCNA class. Finished the class strong by getting an A. Now it's time to get ready for the real certification test. As much as I love fighting, I know I have to put that on the back burner for now until I get my certs. One of my good friends just got his today and I can't wait to feel that same sense of satisfaction.

On a side note, I'm not sure how many people here like to listen to podcasts but this is a great one if anybody needs that motivation or sense of direction to achieve your goals.

College of Southern Nevada Student Services - Advising and Coaching

Once I got out of the military I had an idea of coming to CSN for 2 years and then transferring over to UNLV. At the time I wanted to become a social worker. I had no idea what the College of Southern Nevada had to offer when it came down to social work. As soon as I could, I met up with an adviser who really broke down what paths I could take in achieving a degree in sociology. Although my academic pursuits have changed since then, it was still a great help to sit down with an adviser and really see where I could be in a few years.

CCNA Internetwork Fundamentals

I passed my final skills test which consisted of building and subnetting a network. It was a little tough at first to remember some commands but that was nothing the "?" command couldn't help me with. I really am excited for the semester to end. Not for some time off from school but so I could really shift all my focus on earning these crucial certificates

Thanksgiving Recap

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I really love the idea of a day where you take a moment to appreciate everything you have with the people around you. Even though we should be doing this every day, it's hard with the busy lives we live. This year I decided to step up and make the turkey. I used a Buzzfeed recipe which ended up being pretty good. I even made gravy out of the same recipe that went well with the mashed potatoes I made. Everyone enjoyed my food and that made me pretty thankful. I think I'm the designated turkey cooker now.

I hope everybody else had a great Thanksgiving!
