Blogs

I am now a student at WGU and I begin my Masters journey in less than a few weeks. I’m planning on grinding and hoping to do weekly blog posts to follow my journey as I tackle the MSCSIA program. I’m coming in with the ISC^2 CC transferred as well as Security+ experience (in terms of educational wise). My goal is to finish the paper classes in less than 2 weeks and spend most of my time on the Comptia exams as they are the ones I believe matters most.

Going to be a short post! But I will start showing progress on my projects soon. Hollowgrounds is going back into Development later this Fall/Winter I am starting a new short RPG to learn the in and outs of RPG Maker MV before moving to MZ (Or Unite) I pushed back my start date for my Masters Program to October 1st (Give me more time to prep in advanced) I’m now turning team skynite into a digital media creation company.

I took and passed my test on the same day (July 15) and received my certificate the next day. 50$ a year isn’t that bad especially since the program makes you get CPE (continue education) to keep your certificates. I like this approach because I feel like many people earn certs and when they don’t get a job they just let it sit there and they are not doing anything to level up or keep up with the trend.

When I think of Graduate students I think of those who is working on their masters/Ph.D but at a brick and mortar school where they get a stipend and all that. (I might be misremembering). But I’m officially been admitted to WGU’s Master Program for Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. (referring to this program as MSCSIA from now on). And I’m pretty excited! I have my (ISC)2 CC exam scheduled for next week and if I pass I hope I can use that to take one less class which means one less exam so I can finish way earlier.

So I saw that WGU has ISC2 CC certification as part of the program and I also found out that the exam + training is currently free so I decided to take it and scheduled for Mid July and use it to transfer over to WGU for me to take one less class. Which means less stress and be ahead to finish within 6 months! (one term). The certifications are going to be nice and recently discovered about the CISSP certification which is probably going to be my end-game goal alongside the CASP+

It’s Intern Season, so expect to see many interns on campus! Life is looking good, weather is being nice and all in all I’m proud of what I been able to achieve this year. I sent in my application to attend WGU for their Masters program for Cybersecurity unfortunately I am not qualified for Fafsa. I was able to submit my certification to see what can be transferred over so I’m thinking if I can buckle down I can complete the program in 6 months and take a 5k hit.

Finally, a new post! I’m able to get some time to sit down and blog something again with some news. I passed the CompTIA Security+ exam with 761 pts! It was close but I managed to pull through. I almost used up my time as well. I think I was just under 10 minutes when I finished and I’ll tell you it was a tough one. With this certificate, I learned new skills and now I have something to add to my resume to make it stand out more.

Sorry for the late post, but I been busy studying and situating with finances that I’m finally able to sit down and write. So to the new stuff. My business unit at my current company is being sold and it looks like we might be able to hear something as early as next week! May is going to look pretty busy. I am volunteering as a Judge for the Pokemon Regionals in Los Angeles and I am now finished with the Calbright course that I’m spending half of my day studying for it.
