SkillsTrain A+ Course

With not having my own PC at home, I'm having to rely on the public ones at my local library in order to do my course. I am currently working on TMA 16 of the A+ section, I feel as though I've made good progress given my circumstances and all being well I will be doing my first big exam next month hopefully.

I have set up small home wireless network between my computer - desktop PC, Windows XP Professional, and my friend's laptop - PC Windows XP Media Center Edition. My desktop PC operate with wireless Belkin USB adapter (I have no wireless PCI card). My friends laptop has built in wireless card. I set up connection Ad-Hoc with sharing folders between our computers. Additionaly I share my internet connection with my friend, so she can get internet acces on her laptop by my PC. I don't really know how does it work, but it works. The biggest problem to me was to configure windows firewall. I really hope, that I get enough knowledge during my courses to understand how does it really work and why still hard reset is requested when installing some drivers (wireless belkin USB adapter). Soft reset doesn't work at all. Since my old Atari ST there are still drivers, programs reset resistant.

I have achieved 3 TMA in the 2006 module with a pass average of about 80%, I work extremely hard in my own time and I dont ask for any help. I get on with my studying I even study at school in my spare time.

If student of the month is to reward students that have achieved academically above expectations then there is no one how could say honestly that I do not merit this award. You see when I was 4 years old I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and was told that I would never be abele to go to a mainstream school never mind college university complete the A+ with goals of completing the MCAS. Why should I be student of the month? Well if that's not enough I've never had less than 70% on any of the tutor marked assessments and have an average of 90%. that is why I should be student of the month.

I moved to the UK in 2004 from Zimbabwe and l had never had access to a computer.This was my second asignment and did exptionally well.l worked very hard at my job at the hospital this month but l always stole a few minutes to read my notes.
l feel very confident and l have a belief now that everything is possible and surely l deserve something this month because l worked everyday and at times double shifts in January expect on 25 janauary 2007.
l have also given up drinking to concerntrate on my new course and new year resolutions.
This confirms l am ON TRACK SO FAR!!!

Life is a competition. Is like never end story and I am the hero. Learning something new in this field every day is like a big step forward.
I gain confidence and self-respect and the most important fact is, I try every day to do more then yesterday. Is like an addiction of knowledge. I hope that one day I will transform my story into a legend.

I HAVE STUDDYED WELL THIS YEAR SO FAR AND HAVE REACHED QUITE A FEW 100% MARKS WHICH I THROUGHT I WOULD NEVER REACH AS I DIDN'T HAVE TO BEST OF SCHOOLING BUT PC'S SEEM TO BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND SO I THINK I SHOULD BE STUDENT OF THE MONTHS

I have been very pleased with my results this month after under going a cornea graph on my right eye and been in some extreme pain with my eye. it as been frustrating only been able to study for short periods because I have been limited to the amount I can read and it as been hard to concetrate too.
on top of this I have still to hold my job down and look after my young family.
I never expected the result I have had, as I have found the n+ part of my course a little difficult at times, but I have had some great help from my tutors.

My achievement this month have been the scoring of a 100% in each of my TMA's for the A+ Essentials section 1 part B (2006 Objectives) course. This I consider significant because 5 months ago I knew nothing about computers and did not even have an e-mail address because it all looked too complicated for me. Now after enrolling with Skillstrain I feel motivated and encouraged to enrol for a degree course in IT after my training with Skillstrain. This is coupled with the fact that I work over 10 hours a day from Wednesday to Monday with only a day off. Now I have been able to upgrade the RAM memory and the HDD of my pc after over just 3 months of enrolling with the college and I feel I can do in no time.
Thank you.
