The Final Countdown

My biggest accomplishment is definitely the Exhibitor project. It was hard work and required a lot of research and time to put it together, but once the presentation was over I felt so amazing. Seeing this project go from a stack of raw data to clean spreadsheets to a mock up of a new program was amazing. It made me realize that I never give myself enough credit for the things that I do. I always make jokes about my work but I never truly appreciate how hard I work for something or how talented I am. Even writing that sentence was hard for me. That's one thing SHM has definitely taught me - owning my work and skills.

I don't think I have anything left that I want to learn here. I have definitely experienced everything I want to and more during my time here. I am a completely different person from the girl that walked in back in April. I feel so ready to take on classes and my next job and that is all thanks to SHM.

The Final Countdown

I think the biggest accomplishment for me has to be that I fixed the Windows Deployment Service. It wasn’t working the way it was intended, which made the re-imaging process a lot longer than it should take. I was able to learn a lot on how to create an image from scratch and re-added all the drivers for all the current models of computers SHM has. So now when a computer is re-imaged, all the drivers for that computer should be automatically installed.
As for what I want to do before the last day, I guess it’s to finish up all my current projects and make sure I leave enough training material for the next co-op. I hope the materials I leave behind will help make the transition between co-ops smoother.
