Will I fit in? Will I succeed in my classes? Will I be prepared to make the big transition from high school to college? These questions, among other college-related thoughts, were constantly floating around my head throughout the short summer weeks preceding Move-in Day at Allegheny…

“What is the hardest part about being a Preacher’s kid?” If I had a penny for every time I got asked this question I would probably be a millionaire, if not a billionaire. As soon as I would tell people that I was a preacher’s kid their first reaction was to look at me up and down, confirming that what I was wearing was “preacher’s kids appropriate clothes”.

With industry “experts” declaring that there will be one billion cybersecurity up for grabs in 2016, I may have to hire my teenager this year. Alright, so I fudged the numbers a little, there are only one million “cybersecurity” jobs [1] up for grabs. One million is a big number with regards to “cybersecurity” considering that in March of 2015, there were then, 209,000 vacant “cybersecurity” jobs. Such strange numbers. I visited the “de-facto” technology “help wanted” website (Dice.com) just…

Typically high school students are able to slide by through school without having to manage their time wisely. When college comes around that notion has to change. I have learned that the hard way. While keeping a time journal I noticed issues with how I go about my day. At the same time I noticed that in some shape I was able to prioritize an event with extreme importance throughout my day. After completing the time journal I realized that I could make changes to accommodate my schedule to use…

The image of my mom walking away after the farewell ceremony is forever engraved into my mind. Her face red from crying—as was mine— as she was one of the last parents to leave as we both attempted to prolong her departure.

This is how my college experience began. College has proven to be life changing compared to high…
