The Final Act: Closing the Chapter of Grade 10 Maxwell

 

This final quarter, I gained not only knowledge but also the importance of endurance and working together with others throughout the final quarter of my junior high school education.  I was able to learn how to use Microsoft FrontPage to construct web pages, which was something that initially appeared to be difficult but eventually became simpler as I gained a better understanding of the process.  My comprehension of networking has also increased due to the lessons that ranged from the many types of networking, such as local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN), to the actual design of an RJ45 connector.

 Though, not everything was simple.  The Crimping process for an RJ45 connector was one of the most difficult tasks I faced, considering the precise and correct manner that I had to do it in order for the RJ45 to work. Because there was very little room for mistakes, the failure of the connection may be caused by a single incorrect arrangement of the wires to begin with.  Additionally, I had a difficult time recalling some of the technical phrases that are used in networking, which at times felt like a separate language to learn and put into memory.

Despite these setbacks, I did not give up.  In order to get the hang of crimping, I tried it over and over again until I finally got it.  The most important thing I did was ask for assistance from both my teacher and my classmates. I also watched tutorials. 

 

Moving on, I will continue to expand my skills in web design and networking because I am aware that this is not the end of my education but rather the beginning of something unique.  I am going to keep my mind open to new challenges because I believe that every obstacle is a step toward a more successful future.

 

As the final pages of this quarter come close, I am grateful to the people who have been a part of this quarter, the teachers who guided me, the classmates who have been my support, and the unforgettable memories. One quarter has ended, but a new beginning is opening.

ALL WAS WELL, MAXWELL!
