Week 1 Posting - The Journey Begins

My name is Juliana Becher (but you can call me Julz), I am 27 years old, and this is my IT blog! I am going to school for Information Technology, however, I am extremely new to the field of IT. Let me give you a little peak into the Life of Julz..

I graduated high school in 2010 in Long Island, NY. I had no idea what I wanted to do for my career path, so I spent the next few years switching majors (psychology, photography, sociology, communications... just to name a few) before deciding I was going to take a break from school. I had no end goal, so I had no motivation to actually apply myself and do well in school, so I felt like the best decision would be to spend some time reflecting on life and figuring out what I wanted to do for a career.  I picked back up school for one semester in 2013 when I applied for the Disney College Program in Florida, and I decided to permanently move my life to Florida and completely start over. I spent the next 5 years working for Disney, and I LOVED it, but I knew I eventually wanted to go back and get a degree eventually. It wasn't until 2018 that I decided to pick back up school again. I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I wanted it to be something I really and truly ENJOYED doing. I searched and searched for something that looked appealing to me, and decided on Information Technology. Growing up, I was surrounded by computers. My father was a graphic designer, and I have vivid memories of him showing me how to troubleshoot computer issues when I was a small child. I love problem solving, and I love being able to fix issues, so I felt that IT would be a perfect field for me. I'm going to be completely honest, I'm not as involved in the IT field (since I'm just starting out learning about the ins and outs of computers) and I don't necessarily have a "pulse" on the IT industry currently, but I'm really looking forward to documenting my journey in immersing myself into the computer and IT industry in this blog over the next few months. I've never built my own computer, and even though I'm pretty good at figuring things out, I've never been actually taught how to officially troubleshoot computer issues. For the first time in my entire life, I feel like I'm actually excited to learn in school, and I'm eager to be able to share my journey in becoming an IT specialist with all of you.
