Glenn Smith

After many years in sales and customer service, I decided it was time to make a change. It's not that I did not enjoy the career that I had. I felt something was missing. You see, I did not finish college earlier on. I allowed things to get in the way. I had a mother who had developed Multiple Sclerosis when I was only 15. I felt it was my duty to look after her, and so my education took a backseat to her needs. While working in the education industry, day after day, I saw the dreams and aspirations of so many. I began to wonder if I had what it took to go back to school. I had always had an interest in computers from early on. It went all the way back to the original TRS-80 that my friend, John, had. We used to spend afternoons playing around on it. Zork was a favorite of ours. I decided it was time to return and seek an education in Information Technology. I entered into Hinds Community College's Information Systems Technology. I decided to double down on two associates degrees: one in Networking and the other in Cyber Security. I felt it was important to major in both since they kind of go hand in hand. I knew this would be the best strategy for me when I continue my education toward my Bachelors. Since classes started, I have managed to maintain a GPA between 3.250 and 3.769 and serve as a Deans Scholar. I look forward to my bright future in the IT field. I spend my spare time inspiring my two step-children to better themselves. My wife and I currently have four dogs that we try to handle best that we can. One of them is a rescue that we saved from being euthanized at a shelter in Houston, TX. I guess you could say we have quite the blended family. When I am not busy with them, I can most likely be found binge-watching on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
