Hello world! I am Yahir Barrientos and am new to all this so please take it easy on me!
I am currently a student at the College of Southern Nevada, and I will be graduating in a year with an Associate of Applied Science in Construction Management. I didn’t have much technology growing up besides a Chromebook that was borrowed in middle school. I got my first phone in high school. Technology is fascinating to me although I am still learning the webs of the internet, it amazes me the endless possibilities the internet provides. The outdoors is where someone can find me or spending time with my animals. I enjoy riding my dirt bike on trails that lead me to amazing views.
I had no clue what I was signing up for, but IS101 conveniently fell in line with my schedule because I don’t work on the weekends, and I needed some discipline in my life. I felt intimidated on my first day of IS101 because I had never had to video call a professor. Speaking with Professor Wu, he made me realize that I should not be intimidated, but I should feel confident.
The skill I choose in D2 Part 2 was 0.7 - Keyboard Shortcuts in Labs. My experience using this skill has improved my daily life greatly. I have applied these skills at work immediately, to the point that it is starting to come naturally. The shortcuts I learned like, "Ctrl F" to find a word has saved me so much time because sometimes I am endlessly scrolling and with this short cut, I find what I am looking for quickly. Other shortcuts I find I try to apply them correctly when necessary.
