  • Consistency Is the Secret Ingredient

    Lately, I’ve realized that consistency beats intensity every time. It’s not about cramming an entire textbook into one weekend. It’s about showing up—day after day—to study, apply, and grow. Whether I’m reviewing for CompTIA A+, tailoring another job application, or just taking time to reflect, it’s that steady effort that’s pushing me forward. Some days…

    I’m getting closer to a huge milestone—only three assignments left in my second capstone project. That means I’m nearly finished with my bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. After so much hard work, that alone is something I’m incredibly proud of. But the journey doesn’t stop at graduation. In fact, the learning continues every single day.…

  • 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,…

  • Learning to Be Patient with Myself on This Journey

    One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn in IT—and in life—is patience. When you’re working toward a degree, certifications, and career change, it’s tempting to want instant results. You want the knowledge now. The skills now. The job now. But the reality is:real growth takes time. There were moments when I felt like…

  • Adapting to Change: The Most Important Skill in Tech

    If there’s one constant in technology, it’s change. New tools replace old ones. Systems get updated. Workflows evolve. And what you learned last year might already have a new version this year. At first, that felt overwhelming—like I’d never “catch up.” But over time, I’ve realized that you don’t have to fear change—you just have…

    One thing that’s become crystal clear on my journey into tech is this:you will never know it all. And strangely enough, that’s what makes IT so exciting. The technology we use today—hardware, software, AI, cybersecurity—keeps evolving. New tools are released. Old systems are replaced. And with every change comes an opportunity to grow. Even as…

  • 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…
