Another year is coming to a close, and I wanted to take some time to reflect on this past year and look forward to the new year.
2011 was a year full of many revelations for me. I went back to college in May 2011 and got right back into it after 3 years of being out. I found that my skills in IT were not really up to date and I wanted to be talented in another skill and career in IT so that I actually become employed. Bryant & Stratton has so far led me to a great path to a new career.
Starting that new experience has probably been one of the best choices I made. Sure it will cost me more money, but I really enjoy Networking and I think that I could definitely get into Networking when I graduate. Add in my other college degrees and the future looks brighter.
Probably the most interesting revelation for me is that I am never too old to learn. I have found new opportunities to help other students, use my leadership skills, and do things that I didn’t give myself credit for before. I found that you can’t let other people discourage you or make you feel bad. If you have goals that you want to achieve, only YOU can do it.
In 2012, my philosophy is this, Don’t give up on your goals. You may need to modify your game plan a little, but still have some sort of way forward. God leads and he will show you the way, and when things fall into place, that means it is meant to happen.
I wish everyone the best in 2012! Here is to a safe, healthy, and happy New Year!
