Dear Professor,
My name is Nicole I am 35 years old. I am a mother of 7 the oldest is 21 the youngest is 15
months. I live in Richmond Virginia have been here for over 20 years but born in Rhode Island. I
love to cook I want my restaurant one day to pass down to my children.
My feelings about being a new college student so far are mixed. The reason I say this is
because I am excited but at the same time nervous. It has been years since I have been to school
and I am trying to process everything still. It’s Like reality has set in I am closer to my goals.
The nervous part comes in because in my mind I am wondering how well I am going to do in
college. The excitement is yes, I have done it and I’m here.
There are three goals I have set for myself in college. Goal one is completing my degree in
four years. Goal two owing my first business within seven years. My last goal is being the only
one of my other two siblings to have a degree I will achieve that in 4 years. I have set these while
I am in college and I aim to achieve them.
The first digital communication tool I have found is the first for web conferencing. The
description of this is as follows the name of it zoom you can do meetings, webinars, set up a
conference room and, a phone system through this product. This company has been around for
20 years. Places like UBER use them for conferencing and webinars. (https://zoom.us/) The
instant messaging web site I have found is called windows messenger it is a free download for
your computer. It gives you instant conversation access to a friend’s family and business partners
if needed. To obtain this is the application you can go to
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A8D9EB73-5F8C-4B9A-940F9157A3B3D774).They have improved its security components. It has been configured for wired
and wireless connections.
Learning the digital proficiency process has helped me greatly. Until I started this class, I
never knew one existed. I have learned how to make my way around my computer easier since I
started using the process. I have learned you use it on everything including your phone which I
never thought of as a small computer before. It is helping me be able to navigate through my
goal I must select the way to go about achieving it use the tools I am being given and review how
to do what is needed for my goals.
Sincerely,
Nicole Mitchell
