Hello Professor, Classmates, and Blog Readers,
My name is Adrian Duarte and I am the official creator and sole-blogger of the awesome https://adridblogs.blogspot.com/. I am a first-generation college student, tech-enthusiast (is that what they call a "geek?" Let me know in the comments), and I am currently attending two higher-education institutions, UNLV and CSN, in pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree.
As a Las Vegas area native, I decided to stay close to my family and attend CSN (the College of Southern Nevada); Go Coyotes! I must also root on the Rebels as I am officially a Rebel this semester with the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a major in Information Management, but I will also be double majoring in Business Human Resources, so I gain background knowledge and practical skills. Currently, I am taking this course as part of my declared-degree requirements with UNLV. My career goal is to move up in an organization that focuses on public-service, whether that be a local-level office, a state-level, or on a national-scale, and do what I love.
My first-impression of IS101 (Introduction to Information Systems) is off to a great one. Although we have not had our first class session yet; our first will be later today through remote instruction, I can already sense that there will be tons of coursework. I am confident in my abilities to manage and complete it all, but it is a bit concerning considering I have a full academic-course load, have outside employment obligations, and a family, but I will continue to work on my work-life-school balance and plan assignments that are needed to be completed by their due dates. I reached out to Professor Wu prior to the semester starting, and he has been already more than supportive in my academic journey and is able to be easily reached whenever I email him. I look forward to the continuation in building a professional relationship with Mr. Albert Wu, as well my Information Systems colleagues.
Furthermore, during my leisure time away from school, I enjoy traveling, exploring and dining at new restaurants, hiking, conducting research to learn new things, spending time with friends and relatives, as well as volunteering.
I look forward to this semester and venturing on this journey with you all!
Adrian D.
