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.
Knowing When to Reevaluate Your Goals

Knowing When to Reevaluate Your Goals

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned on this journey is that it’s okay to change your mind.

When I first started in IT, I had a very specific idea of the path I wanted to follow. But the more I’ve learned, the more experience I’ve gained, the more I’ve realized—it’s okay to pause and ask yourself if your goals still fit.

Sometimes, reevaluating your goals isn’t a setback. It’s a sign of growth.

Signs It Might Be Time to Reevaluate:

🔄 Your interests are shifting
🧭 Your current path isn’t bringing you closer to the life you want
😓 You’re feeling burnout, confusion, or lack of motivation
🚧 The job market or industry is showing you different opportunities
💡 You’ve discovered something new you’re passionate about

Right now, I’m in the middle of that process.

I still love tech. I still believe in what I’m building.
But I’m also realizing that clarity takes time, and that adjusting your direction is a strength—not a failure.

I’m giving myself permission to explore new goals, new roles, and new paths forward.
And maybe that’s exactly what I needed.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
