A little about my story

Hello, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Angela Skarecky. I am 39 years old. I was born and raised in California for the first few years of my life, then my parents moved me to beautiful Las Vegas, NV,  where I still reside. I have two adorable chihuahuas that are my world. I enjoy taking them to the dog park, on bicycle rides, and long walks on a pleasant day. I worked as a hairstylist for 15 years. Sadly, standing for long periods of time everyday takes a toll on your body. I am now considering pursuing an education in computer information technology or data analytics. 

My first impression of IS101 is that the work seemed a little intense and intimidating. However, as the last couple of weeks have passed I have found that it is not as hard as I had thought. My professor helps us as much as possible to understand what we are learning. Now I am starting to feel comfortable with the Windows 11 operating system and using my personal computer. I am doing things I never thought possible. My first impression of College of Southern Nevada is that the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The campus that I attend is fairly big and my advisor helped me out by giving me a map of the campus so I can easily find my way around. 

For a class discussion, I chose a skill of Customizing Views and Options-Customizing Toolbars and Ribbons. I have no experience with this skill prior to this class. Now I am a little excited to use it. To make a command available in a more convenient location, you can add it in the quick access toolbar. You can also customize your ribbon display and hide commands on ribbon tabs. This makes it personalized to your specific needs so you can access what you need faster.
