Hello everyone,
This phase was honestly a mix of challenging and interesting
at the same time. At first, Excel felt kind of confusing, especially when
things didn’t work the way I expected. But I think I handled it well because I
didn’t just give up, I kept trying, messing up, and figuring it out.
The A6 Spreadsheet Analysis with Trailer was one of those
assignments where you can’t just rush through it. It made me slow down and understand
what I was doing instead of just clicking around. It was a bit stressful, but
at the same time, I feel like I learned way more because of that.
For Chapter 5.9.2, Excel Tables actually surprised me. I
didn’t think something that simple could make such a big difference. Before
this, I was just typing data into random cells, but using tables makes
everything feel more organized and cleaner. It just makes everything less messy
and more professional. So, I use it in my A6 Spreadsheet Analysis to give it a
more professional appearance.
Outside of class, this is something I can use in real life, like
budgeting, tracking expenses, or even organizing things for school. Since I’m
going into cybersecurity, I know I’ll probably deal with a lot of data, so
learning how to organize and analyze it now is going to help later. Even the
social engineering part made me think more about how people can get tricked
online, which is something I’ll keep in mind moving forward.
Going into Phase 3, I feel like this is where I need to step
it up. It’s easy to just do what’s required and move on, but I don’t really
want to stay at that level. I want to improve and get better, not just pass.
That means being more consistent and putting in extra effort even when I don’t
have to. If I stay focused and keep pushing myself, I think I can get a lot
more out of this class than I expected.
