Hello, my name is Valeria I am a first-year college student. I just returned to school after a long break to better myself and start looking for new growth opportunities. I came to CSN to get my Associate of Business degree. After that, transfer over to a 4-year university to get my bachelor's degree in Accounting.
The first impression I got from taking IS101 was a little intimidating, since I was nervous to be back to school. After actually doing the work and being in the class, I see the value in all assignments and LabSim labs we have done. I also really appreciate the classroom sizes and resources that CSN has to offer. I have been making sure to use the tutoring; it has helped me out a lot.
I chose 2.7.6 Programming Logic Facts. I do not have much experience in any type of programming. As I keep learning more about computer software, I want to learn more ways of programming. I am very excited to continue to work hard and start making strides towards my degree.
I'm elated to hear you see value in all the assignments and LabSim labs you have done so far ^_^
ReplyDeleteYour interest in software programming tells me you have curious/engineer's mindset. This will serve you well in the Accounting field -- any field actually!
Welcome back to higher education and IS101-3003, Spring 2026, Valeria :-)
Hi Valeria, we are kind of in the same situation because I also do not have formal experience with programming. The closest thing I have done is modifying game files. If you are familiar with Ren’Py games that use Python or Unity games that use Assembly DLL files, I have experimented with those. I would not call it real programming, but it involves editing and understanding how files connect. I have also tried creating simple mods for games like Baldur’s Gate 3. It is not the same as writing code from scratch, but it gives some exposure to how systems work. Programming logic still feels new to me in an academic setting. Maybe this class will help connect those small experiences to actual programming concepts.
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, I have almost the same path as you when it comes to school. I am finishing up my Associates of Business degree and plan to continue my education in economics. I am considering majoring in economics and minoring in accounting because I really enjoyed managerial accounting. Programming seems difficult, there are so many steps involved to do small task.
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, it’s pretty nice that you decided to start college as a way to grow and pursue your career after your long break. To be honest, I just know the simple basics of programming, and I have never really practiced it, but I find it interesting and I would like to learn more about it someday. I wish you the best in your journey toward your Accounting degree!
ReplyDeleteHello Valeria, I also took a break before starting college. It is really nerve-racking but there is lots of valuable information to be learned in this class. For some reason programming is really intimidating to me, because in my mind if I do one thing wrong, I'm going to ruin the whole thing and not be able to get back to where I started. I'd like to learn enough to where I can do tasks with 100% confidence that I'm correct. Good luck with your classes!
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria! It is great to meet you!. Returning to school after a long break can be intimidating, but it sounds like you are doing an amazing job by taking advantage of the tutoring at CSN. I also want to go into accounting, so I agree that the skills in IS101 are very valuable for our future careers. Your interest in Programming Logic is a great choice since understanding how software works is so helpful in the financial world. I'm currently in CS135 and i got to say, there is indeed a lot of critical thinking involved!
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria! I also took a small break before coming back to school, and like you this is my first semester at CSN. I completely understand the nerves that come with returning to school after some time. It’s great that you’re using the tutoring resources and working toward your goal. I wish you the best in your journey!
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria. Congratulations on going back to school. I am also glad that the resources that you are using are helping you. What made you want to major in accounting?
ReplyDeleteValeria, your transition into the accounting program at CSN demonstrates a commendable commitment to professional growth, as evidenced by your proactive use of academic resources and your strategic interest in mastering programming logic to enhance your future career opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI agree that CSN has so much to offer for students and I am thankful for that since students like us struggle to learn again after a long break from high school. Same boat here! More power to your Journey and hopefully you can help me with my taxes when you get your degree, why does taxes have to be so complicated?
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, I find programming very interesting as well considering the reason these screens and computers work are based off of that programming. I salute your interest and will to learn such a difficult task and wish you the best!
ReplyDeleteHey Valeria, In 2.7.6 Programming pays good once you learn and if you decide that's something you can pick up as a hobby besides your education and be a little side piece. As a first-year college student, I hope you're actively doing well in your classes and know that things are new to you or different from returning from your break and hope you keep pushing on!
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, it’s great that you decided to come back to school to create new opportunities for yourself. I also felt a little intimidated at the beginning of IS101, but after working through the assignments it becomes easier to see how useful the skills are. It’s good that you’re using the tutoring resources at CSN since they can really help with understanding the material. Your goal of earning a degree in Accounting sounds like a great plan. Good luck with the rest of the semester.
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, seems like we're on the same journey! I'm also doing my AB degree in hopes of transferring to a 4-year college (most likely UNLV). Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteHello Valeria, your choice of topic; the programming logic skill is an interesting choice. Even if you don’t have much experience yet, I'm sure things will work out for you in the end! Especially with the fact that you’re curious and open to learning more, that says a lot about your mindset, you will definitely grow and improve. That curiosity will help you in accounting, business, and pretty much anything tech‑related, good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Valeria, an associate of business degree and then to a 4 year university is a good move. This class will definitely help you a lot to achieve those goals. Yes I agree, it can be intimidating given the amount of work but if you keep at it, I know you will be successful.
