I got my MCSA!!
This last week really has been an amazing one for me since I just passed the 70-291 Microsoft exam. The 70-291 focuses on the network infrastruture in Windows Server 2003 like DNS, DHCP, security, routing and switching, remote access, ect… I started studying for it in January 09 and just finished it this last week. Overall it was a tough exam and really did take a lot of critical thinking and troubleshooting skills to be able to awnser the questions correctly. Even though it was hard and took a while to study for it, It was well worth it!! I can’t describe the incredible high that I got immediately after passing the exam and knowing that I had completed one of my long term goals in life. If I hadn’t set a goal to complete my MCSA, I probably would have never got it nor taken the time to really study and learn the material. If you have not gotten into the habit of goal setting I suggest you do and make a habit of making goals and completing them. It really does help you accomplish things in life, and gives you direction of where to go and what to do to get to that point in life.
Anyway, I am soooo stoked that I’ve finally got my MCSA for server 2003!!! My next goal will probably to upgrade my MCSA to server 2008 or, go for the CCNA since we do a lot of network design and management at my workplace.
If you would like to know more about the MCSA or Microsoft Certifications, I’ll post some links below:
