    For anyone looking to learn Powershell, I cannot recommend enough a book called Learn Powershell in a Month of Lunches. I read this book and was able to practice Powershell via ISE in my work organization and feel incredibly confident in learning new languages now. Highly recommend!

The way you chronicle your impactful journey is a testament to the fact that nothing good comes easy. You really earned your achievements both career and academic while staying really humble.

    I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your journey. I would say the biggest factor I liked about your story was your determination. I love hearing things like that since it motivates me.
    I’m currently lucky to go from IS&T intern to a IT Technician II. I think the hardest part to IT besides needing to be motivated is finding the path to go down. There are so many fields and specializations. I’m currently learning SQL and want to do something with Cybersecurity. Anyways great video!

    I think that what a lot of people call luck is simply opportunity and in many cases opportunities they don't have. Having more or different opportunities than someone else doesn't mean that you haven't earned your place or had an easier path IMO. To be specific I don't think you got any job because of luck. Were there potentially better or more experienced candidates? No doubt but you likely had someone with some degree of previous knowledge of you willing to give you an opportunity based on your hard work or other things they knew about you.
