Switching 2

This week I am working mostly on my labs and reading, I have helped miguel in the lab whenever I can, and I know he appreciates it. Luisa hasn't come by, I know she wanted to work on Chapter 5 labs, as they are gonna be due, I will most likely work on them at home. This semester is mine  #stemTHEWEEKSMCCTHEYEAR

Switching

I am currently reading Chapter 4 of our Cisco Switching book in preparation for the exam and quiz. I am confident I can certify as a CCNP in the next couple of months, its just a matter of dedication. I will continue to read, and work on my labs so I keep learning, and improving my skills more everyday. #stemTHEWEEKSMCCTHEYEAR 

CCNP

As the cisco news evolved, we got more information into how the new certifications are going to be broken down. This is particularly important for nikesh, me and any other person studying cisco as there are big changes happening in 2020. One of these changes is that we have the possibility of testing for CNNP without being CCNA certified first. I will take this change into my advantage by studying for CCNP, and taking the test in the summer. #stemTHEWEEKSMCCTHEYEAR

Tutoring

This week I worked in my labs from my switch class, helped my classmate luisa and worked with miguel in the lab. Most of my time I was working in this labs, and networking exams and when luisa was here we went through some labs. Others days I was waiting for students to come in, and finishing up hw from other classes. Overall I believe it was a successful week. #stemTHEWEEKSMCCTHEYEAR 

Volunteering at Saint Vincent

This week in our internship we went out to volunteer at Saint Vincent De Paul, and helped set up a toy stand for an upcoming event. We helped carry chairs, move tables, and arrange toys. Some where sticking prices to each individual toy, and others were helping move and carry stuff. We all helped and worked as a team when needed. We ended up being satisfied because we knew that this event was design for the kids, to give them all the toys they could buy, and therefore teaching them financial literacy and responsibility. Overall it was an amazing experience, and an excellent way to help others. #stemTHEWEEKSMCCTHEYEAR
