I had several ideas over the years after high school graduation of what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be a meteorologist, an electrician, veterinarian, and a computer technician. I finally made a clear decision after buying my first computer; I wanted to get into the field of computers. My next decision was where do I get my education? I searched for quite some time and finally heard a great deal about Ivy Tech, so I decided to go there and major in Computer Information Systems and minor in PC Support/Administration. I graduated from Ivytech in May of 2008 with an Associate’s degree in Computer Information Systems. After graduating from Ivytech, I had another decision to make, it was clear to me that I wanted to gain my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems, the decision was what school to go to accomplish this next goal?
I toured both the IPFW and Indiana Tech campuses. I had my heart set on IPFW before the tours, but decided on Indiana Tech after the tours. I liked IPFW's software discounts, but the class sizes and scheduling wouldn't have worked too well for me.Indiana Tech has smaller class sizes, accelerated classes and helped me in getting a great deal of grant monies at the state and federal levels. I graduated from Indiana Tech in July of 2011. I am currently enrolled in the Microsoft Virtual Academy taking free courses so I can keep updated on the newest technologies available today.I have completed 14 courses which include Windows 7 Deployment, various Windows 10 courses, Visual Basic Community 2015 courses. I will describe this in further detail below in the Education section.I have also had the opportunity to build four computers and fix several computers, including my own systems. I am currently working on a full-size system, which will eventually have 16 GB of DDR 3 RAM, 12 TB of storage, 1 GB of video RAM, two optical drives, and sufficient ventilation. I had chosen one of the top cases for this project and that is a Thermaltake, which has done very great for me thus far.
