As a result, it led me to a great YouTube channel called Answers in Progress. While watching one of their videos the thought of keeping a notepad of thoughts came up. So, lets dig into that below.

Over the past few months I’ve been working towards my Bachelor of Science, Network Operations and Security degree at WGU. So far it has been going pretty good aside from the fact I keep failing my Project+ exam but I have managed to get my Network+, Security+ and Linux Essentials certificates. My A+ cert I had prior to starting my studies at WGU.
