Busy, Busy, Busy

It has been a busy couple of weeks for me. Over break I used my skills in Hardware Troubleshooting to build a computer with my friend that is now up and running with Windows 7 installed on it. Last week was the first week of the quarter. I have to say, I love all of my classes so far, all of them have something interesting to teach me. This past weekend I went to the State Leadership Conference with Sullivan University’s chapter of Phi Beta Lambda and competed in two competitions.

Me Working on the Computer

Building the computer was a wonderful experience. It was hard at first trying to figure out what to do next and what needed to go where. With the class at school we had only worked with fixing individual pieces of the computer. I had to take all of those little pieces and integrate them together to make a complete and working machine.

Our Chapter Members at the Competition

At the time, with the competition coming up, it was hard to concentrate on how fun the classes were because I knew how much studying I had to do. The studying paid off though.

My Two Awards

 I won two first place awards, one in Help Desk and the other in Computer Concepts. The rest of the competitors in Phi Beta Lambda also did very well, almost everyone who went placed. This means that in June that we are all going to the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas. 

I am so excited for this wonderful experience.
