I can't believe December is already here. It feels like yesterday that I celebrated my birthday on January 24th, which is one of my happiest days of the year. Now that the new year is approaching, I'm starting to consider whether there have been any improvements in my life over the last 11 months.
𝖣𝖾𝗌𝗂𝗀𝗇𝖾𝖽 𝗎𝗌𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝖼𝖺𝗇𝗏𝖺
For me, the last 11 months have been a series of events. This year, I began my career by learning Cloud Development at AltSchool. I also learned a bit of Frontend Development and was introduced to JavaScript, which is the first programming language I have learned to some extent. I now know a little C and Python, which I also learned this year.
Because my primary goal was to become a Cloud Practitioner (DevOps Engineer), I was required to learn a programming language, and the online school I enrolled in required that I know a little Frontend Development before I could learn anything Cloud-related. I was initially perplexed as to why this was required, but as time passed, I discovered that I enjoyed Frontend Development and gained an understanding of how the web works.
I had to purchase some courses on Udemy because I became obsessed with frontend development, which I intend to study later. The Complete Web Developer Zero to Mastery by Andrei Neagoie, The Complete JavaScript Course by Jonas Schmedtmann, and a few others are the courses I purchased on Udemy. These courses are a steal for the prices they are being offered at on Udemy, in my opinion after watching a few of the videos in them. It's been a while, but I don't recall how much I paid for them. Here is a screenshot of the courses I bought on Udemy.
Before I could begin my training as a cloud engineer, I had to complete my first semester of frontend engineering with a score of 92/100, passing both the project phase and exams. I learned about the Linux operating system, virtual machines, shell commands, bash scripting, the Cron tab, and Ansible when I started the second semester. I must admit that the learning wasn't simple, and I had significant problems, especially with Ansible. I kind of expected to fail or get expelled in the second semester, but I managed to make it to the third semester on probation with a score of 55/100 despite my inability to complete my second-semester project.
I'm currently in my third semester, during which time I will learn more about AWS, GCP (Google Cloud Platform), and Azure. Even though the third semester appears to be more challenging than the previous one, I am confident that I can handle it.
lest I forget, it is HPUD (Hive Power Up Day)
I haven't participated in the monthly power-up for a few months now, and since it's the last month of the year, I can't ignore this tradition. So I traded the remaining 7 HBD in my account for approximately 20 Hive, which I have powered up and set this post to 100% Hive Power.Hopefully, this post gets a lot of rewards so I can make a lot of added HP 😊...

How did I miss reading this? Well, I guess it was a busy day for me and that was how it happened.
From what I can see, I think you've made a lot of progress even though it was not exactly what you had planned. These achievements are more than enough because you are still trying to keep up with the rest part.
And wow, wow, you are a January born and you are telling me that I'm going to be singing you a happy birthday song on the 24th, that is awesome!!! I look forward to celebrating with you God willing.
Hmm, you did a power up!!! Now this is new especially for the fact that you wrote about it, hehehe. I'm really happy for you, well, I'm very sure it will just keep getting better. I hope you can also make another power up next month, no matter how small, hehehe.
All the best for achieving your goals for the remaining days in the month, I'm sure you will achieve a lot before the year closes 😊.
Happy birthday in advance 🤭
