I constantly thank friends and family for shaping me, for influencing me to be the best person I can be. Forever in debt to the situations I’ve experienced with people, good and bad situations with good and bad people, for helping me discern what’s good for me and what’s not.
But, I gotta thank myself this time.
I’m pretty humble; confident in my words, but humble and would rather listen. But today, I achieved 2 entry level certifications towards my career, and it was all in part to my mettle. I actually failed the first time we took each exam. I felt kinda defeated but knowing there was another chance, I didn’t want to fail. It didn’t count towards my class average or anything. But I wanted to prove to myself I was capable. And I was more than capable today. I don’t care for validation, ever. But today I validated myself in taking this first step. A small one, granted, but hey.
I’ve been doing nothing but focusing on school this semester, and working for the last month and a half full time. I’ve stressed and studied and spent countless hours in various Starbucks’ and libraries in my city. And it all paid off today.
With this affirmation, I aim to spend this summer studying for my next certifications starting tomorrow, 05/05/2017. I will dedicate 20 hours weekly to my studies, fitting in studying however I can. I aim to have a CCNA under my belt by the end of June 2017. If not CCNA then at least the CCENT. I will also pick up another part time job, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I’ll still be working full time at my current job.
I want to be beyond successful and the only way to do that is to make sacrifices and invest in self.
I spent at least 10 minutes watching this on repeat. I cried so much. It’s the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.
