Microsoft Excel Certification

Today I took the Excel certification exam and luckily passed. I was not very confident in my skills so I used the Gmetrix practice exams the day before the real exam and also practiced the different functions. Some of the functions that I would suggest to know before the exam are the Concatenate, if, and upper functions. These are just some to practice but you should be prepared for the unexpected. I hope that my advice is somewhat helpful and you all pass the excel certification exam.

Today's Class

Class today was a little crazy since we had to take the 2 bonus quiz and I had  to present my power point presentation. I also struggled with one of the excel projects but luckily with the help of professor Wu I was able to complete all the projects. Now all I want to do to take the exam is use Gmettrix for the practice Exams. I hope I pass the on the first attempt.

Band Class

When I was in middle school I didn't get the chance to choose my elective so I was put In band class. Little did I know that this class would be one of my favorites. As part of band class we had to pick out an instrument that we wanted to play. I really wanted to pick the trumpet but unfortunately they were limited so I instead went with the trombone. As time went on and I got pretty at playing the trombone I fell in love with the instrument. As a result of being in this class we also got the opportunity to participate in various competitions with one being in Anaheim, California. Sadly, we didn't win but we got to go to Disneyland and an aquarium that I can't recall the name of. After middle school I stopped playing the trombone but I've been searching the internet to possibly buy one and start playing again.

Culinary Arts

In high school I attended a magnet school which offered career specialized courses such as construction engineering, culinary arts, Biomedical sciences, etc. I chose culinary arts and had the opportunity to learn about cooking and baking. Some of my favorite things I learned to make and got to eat were log cake, coxihnas(Brazilian food), and baked mac and cheese with bread crumbs. I took these courses and learned a very good life skill. I also learned about things such as food safety, food costs, customer service, etc. To this day I still use these skills to cook and bake for my family and myself when I get the chance.
