Hi! I’m Jamie Woodman, an Information Technology student at Capella University with a growing passion for artificial intelligence and lifelong learning. I hold a Google IT Support Certificate and am currently preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification. I’ve always been fascinated by technology—even when I didn’t believe I was “tech-savvy” enough to belong in the field. Since beginning my academic journey, I’ve discovered just how much I can learn—and how much I enjoy it. I was recently honored to be accepted into the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), which has inspired me to keep developing both as a leader and a learner. This blog is where I share my experiences as a student, my thoughts on technology, and helpful resources for others navigating a similar path. Whether you’re breaking into IT, exploring AI, or just looking for some inspiration, I’m glad you’re here.

50 Posts Later: What This Journey Has Taught Me

50 posts.

When I wrote the very first entry on this blog, I didn’t know where it would lead. I just knew I wanted to share my journey—learning IT, returning to college, building my first PC, preparing for certifications, and growing into someone I never imagined I could be.

Now, 50 posts later, I see a bigger picture. These posts aren’t just words—they’re proof. Proof of growth. Proof of persistence. Proof that it’s never too late to chase something new.

Along the way, I’ve…

  • ✅ Built confidence through challenges, small wins, and big milestones
  • 🖥️ Gained real skills—from PC builds to project management
  • 🎓 Moved closer to finishing my bachelor’s degree
  • 🤝 Joined NSLS and stepped into leadership growth
  • 🚀 Planned my next steps with certifications like CompTIA A+ and CAPM

What I’ve Learned After 50 Posts:

  • Consistency matters. Small steps create big change.
  • It’s okay to not know everything. Learning is the whole point.
  • You don’t have to wait to feel ready. Confidence comes from doing.
  • Sharing your journey helps you—and inspires others.

This isn’t the end. It’s another checkpoint—just like graduation will be, just like certifications will be, just like the first IT job will be.

If you’ve been following along—thank you. If you’re just finding this blog—welcome.

Here’s to the next 50 posts. The next set of goals. The next chapter of growth.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
— Winston Churchill
