Insight: learn daily, especially in the morning where the concentration is at its peek. It just takes an hour and you stay in the loop. I take a ton of notes, helps with retention and organizes what I learn. I like to psychologically push myself by chunking the work and not allowing myself to quit when i'm in the middle of a chunk like a chapter or concept.
Sometimes it's helpful for me to go on a tangent, like read up some history, meaning of acronyms, watch a YouTube video on some background. In IT this deep dive always pays back.
I have achieved my dream to be in Red Hat [ November 2022 - as Trainee ].

I was a 2.3GPA high school graduate and I have diagnosed ADHD and I thought my low score was a measure of me the rest of my life. I can do more than I thought I could if I just put my mind to it. I'm in my 30's and feel like I'm just discovering my capabilities.

Creativity and mental organization may be your best tools on the job.
@Deanna Thanks for these great community engagements and conversation starters. I love reading people's advice and about their journeys.
Share an accomplishment from 2022 I completed both RHCSA courses (failed the exam), and am proud of the commitment I followed through to learn RHEL this year. These courses have provided me with a great view into the jungle that is linux, and I'm excited to be walking my own path, learning as I go.
Share a lesson learned from 2022 It is as important to know why something is done as much as how to go about doing it. There were times I caught myself going through the motions while working through the labs because I knew what to expect. Certain parts of my exam scoring helped me realize that I should understand why things are done so that I can put them in context of a situation and solve or troubleshoot with purpose.
Share a goal for 2023 (personal or professional) My goal for 2023 is to pass the DO188 exam, then pass the RHCSA exam within first quarter. Beyond that, I expect to continue my education with Ansible and grow my knowledge of containers. I would like to read at least 20 books.
Share a piece of advice for community members as we kick off a new year. Compassion for others and myself brings me inner peace. When I am at peace, it affects how I approach my hobbies (including linux), and learning becomes a curious rugged path I can travel rather than a hurdle I must overcome.
Learn to be productive with Red Hat Linux and Ansible -- accomplished (but with vast opportunity to grow further in 2023).
Always watch your training videos -- for example, from the excellent instructor in the RH199 videos (shout-out to Ricardo da Costa) I've learned several things not mentioned in the text for the training course (e.g. trying out »mtr« instead of tracepath/traceroute and so on) -- lesson learned.
One of many goals for 2023: gain expertise with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform. Cheers!
Completed my RHCA Track and earned the following certifications to complete my RHCA
Red Hat Certified Specialist in Deployment and Systems Management
Red Hat Certified Specialist in Developing Automation with Ansible Automation Platform
Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration
Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers and Kubernetes
Red Hat Certified Specialist in Advanced Automation: Ansible Best Practices

Share a piece of advice for community members as we kick off a new year.
Certifications are the entry point for learning any technology. Always go through the documentation, use cases and reference architectures this will give you more insight of the practical implementation and gain mastery in the topic.
In 2022 I achieved my Red Hat Architect status! During a 1 year usage of a learning subscription, i passed 4 specialist exams which i needed on top of my Engineer status and a specialist certification I already had before that. In the end I now posess the Ansible Automation platform, RHEL troubleshooting and security, Ceph storage and Openshift certifications.
Many thanks to HCS Company, the Netherlands where Karen, KP and Marko sponsored me with that learning sub, and all my collegues with the inspiration, feedback, discussions and knowledge aiding me in achieving my goal!
My tip for all looking to certify in multiple areas, is to find a suitable learning subscription which has an anormous value for money, with access to almost every RedHat training you want.
For 2023, beside getting more practical experience in Openshift for which i am already a big assignment, i also set my goal on an Openstack certification.
Lessons learned: dont plan an exam at a date where you have other things to do in that same week, even if the are social events! And also the other way around: don't plan heavy stuffy in the days prior to the exam, it will wear you down and cost you focus. Be 100% fit! Only hours before that exam i planned too many other stuff, i already knew i would not pass because i was not rested enought, and indeed i failed that attempt. Wont make the same mistake again like that!
- Visit Brazil during one of the festival celebrations. Would love to make it for Carnival, but that's coming up a little too soon for me. If there's a Brazlian native or resident in the audience, maybe you can recommend the best festival to attend - other than Carnival.
A professional goal for 2023:
- Keep my foot on the accelerator to attain that coveted RHCA designation. As those who have conquered this challenge, they know the journey is marathon, and not a sprint.
As far as advice to share, I'm going to share a slice, instead of piece - I always have to be different
- My advice: Never stop learning, and enjoy the journey!!!
An accomplishment in 2022:

A piece of advice for community members as we kick off a new year.
People matter. Your colleagues might not be your friends, but you spend most of your time with them. Do earn their trust, respect, shared understanding, and causes. Be there for each other at work, and remember to care for each other mentally.

More impact in the community via meetups with the help of the redhat accelerators and AWS community. Check my youtube above, "Sharing is caring."
