On April 5th 2016 (4/5/2016), I made my first post to this blog, and today on October 10th 2019 (10/10/2019) I have passed my final CCNP Exam the TSHOOT 300-135 š
Along the way I have hit many major life events that could very well have stopped my progress, gave me a reason to put off studying, however I am living proof that there is nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals while there is breath in your lungs!
The TSHOOT is really a high bar to clear in terms of Cisco exams, I thought it was about on par with ROUTE, if you don’t know the curriculum inside out you just will not pass it (which I failed my first attempt at TSHOOT and failed ROUTE twice before passing).
I have wanted to earn my CCNP for over a decade when I was in college, I feel an immense sense of pride and accomplishment, my head was floating above the clouds when I walked out of the test center holding a Pass grade today!
I will turn my attention to higher studies in pursuit of the CCIE Enterprise upon my return, though it will be done via Specialist certifications to hone my skills in Virtualization / SD-WAN / WAAS / Programming / Etc, however I will continue to post any and all new studies in articles to this page once I am back on THE GRIND! š
My CCNP Grind is finished, good luck to everyone in the pursuit, and never give up!
Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, otherwise until next time, Loopy out!!!
The DEVNET GRIND! 
Congrats David!
