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.
Curiosity Is My Greatest Tool in Tech

Curiosity Is My Greatest Tool in Tech

If I had to name the one quality that’s helped me the most in my IT journey so far, it wouldn’t be intelligence, or speed, or even experience.

It would be curiosity.

Curiosity is what made me wonder how computers really work. It’s what made me open up a PC case for the first time, what drove me to build my own machine from scratch, and what keeps me diving deeper into every topic I study—from networking to programming to project management.

In IT, there’s always something new to explore. And that can feel overwhelming… unless you approach it with curiosity instead of fear.

How Curiosity Helps Me Learn:

  • 🧠 It makes studying feel like discovery, not a chore
  • 🔍 It pushes me to ask better questions instead of giving up
  • 🛠️ It leads me to experiment, troubleshoot, and actually understand
  • 🚀 It keeps me motivated even when things get hard

The more curious I am, the more I realize there’s no limit to what I can learn. I don’t have to know everything right now—I just have to keep exploring.

Curiosity didn’t just lead me to IT—it’s what will keep me growing in this field for the rest of my career.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
— Albert Einstein
