Welcome and thank you for clicking on my first tech blog post! Since this is my first post I will just give a little bit of background and information about myself cuz that seems like the best thing to post at first.
As some of you know, I'm 15 and I was obsessed with minecraft for like 4 years. Well, I was also obsessed with technology and had already decided that I was gonna work in IT when I grew up because God had given me a natural ability to fix technology. One day, I went into my room and found this massive book on my desk and it looked like this:
Just as a clarification for nerds, this is the newer version of the book and at the time I had the older version but I couldnt find it so I had to take a picture of the newer one.
At first I had no idea what it was so I went to my dad and asked him what it was. Turns out, it was a study book for the CompTIA A+ certification. My dad and I had a longer talk about what that was and that I should try to get that certification because it will really help me get a head start into the IT industry. So, I spent a couple years studying that book until I felt I was ready to attempt the first half of the CompTIA A+ certification. Tbh, I kind of thought it was going to be like one of those vocabulary tests that I used to take when I was little. Well, my dad drove me out to the test center and I spent 2 hours taking the $250 exam. I failed. At the time I was like 12 so I cried and felt disappointed in myself. Even though I didn't see it at the time, this was actually a good thing that I failed because I was taking the outdated version of the exam that expired in like a month. A few months later, my dad bought me the Updated version of the CompTIA A+ book. I studied and studied for 2 more years and passed both the exams with flying colors. When I passed the second exam (January 19, 2024), I received an email saying that I was officially a certified technician. My certificate arrived in the mail and it's hanging on my wall rn. 99% of the credit goes to my dad who encouraged me the whole way and helped me through every step and trial.
After that, I didn't want to work cuz STUDYING FOR THAT EXAM WAS SO HARD, so I pretty much just played minecraft all day and got super behind on my school. A month after my exam, my dad and I had a talk and we both agreed that I was addicted to minecraft, so I quit. It was very hard and I had dreams about it for like a month but ya. Since the end of February, I have been working on building a company that I really wanna do. My goal has always been to create the best parental control software which I will talk more about in my next blog post.
