Challenges Overcame

During my time in this course, I was unfortunately thrown a handful of obstacles that impacted my ability to consistently perform at the level I aspired to do. Towards the end of the first month of class I had to undergo stomach surgery for an issue which had been plaguing me for years and resulted in a long recovery phase. This, coupled with an unforeseen change in my financial situation, created a very stressful, painful, and arduous patch in which I was unsure of what was to come. Thankfully, at the current point, it appears things are going better in terms of health, finances, and academic outlook.

Application of Knowledge Gained

I will apply the skills I gained from the simulations, live labs, and course discussions in my quest to become a physical penetration tester. As I prepare to take my Security+ at the end of the month, I will utilize the information I learned in this class during my study sessions, TryHackMe rooms, and real life applications.
