Family

I have been doing a lot of posts related to family. Family is really dear to me and I do not know where I would be without mine. I am the youngest of three. I have two older sisters. I have a sister who is twelve years older then I am and I have sister who is ten years older then I am. My sisters mean a lot to me, I say this because they have helped me out when with situations that I could not go to Mom and Dad about. We all have those situations... Both sisters are married, and have children. I am so blessed with what I have, but WHO I have in my life.

I Hear A Song..

Music is expressed in many different ways. I have a cousin who has a very good voice. His name is Andy. He has a voice like no other has ever heard. He attended college in Madison and was a part of Redefined, which is a coed a Capella group. Andy has had many performances during his college years.

There is one song that Andy did that I listen to all of the time. The song is Free Falling. Many money making artists have done their own versions of it. I like Andy's version the best.

Andy also performs at family and friend's weddings and funerals. I give my cousin the up most respect because he has a voice like no other.

Isn't Life Grand?

I was writing my previous blog thinking about how things have been going in my life. I believe that everyone has up and down times in their life. Well, right now is a really high time for me because things are going good for me. When I say that I mean school is going good and I have a great family that supports me in my decisions except the bad ones.

I would have to say the lowest down time in my life was when I went into Open Heart Surgery. When I was younger, my mouth turned blue when I was drinking a bottle as a baby. My parents were concerned so I was taken to the doctor and found out that I have a Ventricular Septic Defect. To sum it up, I had holes in the lower two chambers of my heart. The blood was not pumping correctly. I had open heart surgery when I was four years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had surgery at Children's Hospital. I was treated like a little king. I was only four years old. I got what I wanted when I wanted. :)

I had to go to a heart doctor for stress tests to make sure everything was all right up to the age of eighteen. Everything is good now and I am living life great.

Internship - It Networking

I am attending Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) for IT Networking. The current semester I am doing my internship at school that is in the South Milwaukee School District. The internship requires ninety six hours of a job that has something to do with It Networking. At my internship, the school currently has Microsoft Server 2003 and I am upgrading it to Server 2008. I did not realize how many steps or how long of a process it is. I have done a lot to make sure that the school is getting the sever that is going to serve (no pun intended) the school with the correct type of server. To begin I assessed the current server such things as roles, applications, computer software, policies, Then I looked around at different companies that sell servers for schools, and companies. I talked to my boss that is the head of the IT Department at South Milwaukee School District. Once, I was given the OK, I then ordered the server. I set up all the roles onto the new server that were on the old server. I am currently setting up Staff and Student User Accounts.

I would say that I learned a lot of new ideas, and some items that I had to install were a review from previous classes that I have taken at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
