As I begin my college journey in studying cybersecurity, I am excited to see what these four years have in store for me. As of now, in my freshman year, I do not know what I want to do in cybersecurity yet, but I am still exploring, so I want to be able to participate in club meetings, hands-on activities, mentorships, and internships so I can be able to find any career in what works best for me. I also hope to obtain a cybersecurity certification someday. I remember when I took a cybersecurity class in high school, we used VMs (virtual machines) such as Kali Linux, and Windows. Hopefully I will be able to do something similar to that here at ODU. I have a big book of a CompTIA+ Security exam study guide, and I read it from time to time. This bio of me covers and signifies what I learn along the way, and the skills I build in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1788\" height=\"2235\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/j-mess\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41668\/2026\/09\/210888_1788x2235_107675437.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-287\" style=\"width:308px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Jeffrey Messan, and I am a freshman at Old Dominion University majoring in cybersecurity.
