My plans for going forward are to further obtain the next level certification, the CCNP, while I finish school and hopefully kick-start my career through internships or more official positions, and eventually become a Network Engineer. I hope to also master Python, as learning how to program effectively is a requirement for most modern Network Engineers! There are applications that can provide automation, however being able to write your own scripts in tandem allows for next level efficiency and separates the average from the great.

As for personal goals, I have a few:

I hope to eventually reach the 1000lb club for lifting weights i.e. reaching a cumulative total of 1000lbs between your Squat, Deadlift, and Benchpress.

I want to take my 5k time to below 20 minutes.

Reaching the Master tier on the ranked ladder for League of Legends.

Throughout the semester I had to challenge myself in learning how to use software that I was unfamiliar with, as well as using problem solving skills to find solutions to all of the projects that I worked on. This class had a lot of work required for it, but I am glad that I was able to accomplish the tasks that were set out for me. I know I started to "peter-out" towards the end of the semester, and had to deal with some things IRL but honestly who doesn't right?  Not looking to excuse myself though.  I did have a lot of fun in this class working on these projects and deep diving into these technologies that are honestly very helpful to know. I had always found a passing interest in things like excel, but I never really had the right direction or use for it, and I feel proud that I know enough to actually use the application!

Overall, I am glad I took this class and I have taken away a lot of knowledge that I know will be helpful for me in the future!
