Hello, my name is Angel, I am 20 years old, and I am currently pursuing my Associate of Applied Science degree in Paralegal Studies. My immediate goal is to work as a Paralegal at a reputable law firm here in Las Vegas, and my ultimate aspiration is to establish my own law firm.
This is an excellent class that has taught me a great deal, and I believe anyone with the opportunity should take it, as it trains you to pay attention to details and, in many cases, reveals that what you thought you knew was either incorrect or incomplete.
I selected LabSim module 1.4.11 Encryption and Authentication, and I was very impressed by how encryption works and how it safeguards your information, websites, and all activities carried out through an online web browser.
I'm a martial artist since I was 5 years old and I started training Shotokan karate, I think that's where my interest in Japanese culture comes from, more specifically feudal Japan and how it was governed by the Bushido code, something that was instilled in me by my sensei's since I was a child.
I'm very pleased to hear the first few weeks of IS101-3003, Spring 2026 has already taught you a great deal and you deem the class to be excellent, Angel ^_^
ReplyDeleteLet the rest of the our semester together add even more to your digital literacy skills!
A martial artist since the age of five? May the instilled Bushido code in you fuel your journey to become a Paralegal then onto establishing your own law firm :-)
Hi Angel, I think I have become a bit jaded over the years. At least you still believe strongly in justice, I feel like I just accept that unfair things are going to happen. I do not really try to fight everything anymore, I just focus on handling what is in front of me. Maybe that is not the best mindset, but it is where I am right now. When you talked about Bushido and discipline, I honestly felt like I would be a terrible student under that code. I can be lazy, and sometimes I feel mentally weak when things get hard. That kind of lifelong discipline you learned from martial arts is something I do not naturally have. I respect that you have that foundation because not everyone grows up with that structure.
ReplyDeleteA lot of reading when it comes to Paralegal that's what deters me from paperwork heavy degrees that is why I am so impressed by those people who pursue it. All power to that! Your fascination with Japanese culture is pretty cool, I never personally deep dive into it, let alone have training connecting to that; however, I am learning Japanese recently and I get bits and pieces of feudal Japan's language system.
ReplyDeleteHi Angel, it’s really interesting that you’ve been practicing martial arts since you were five years old. That takes a lot of dedication. I also think it’s great that you’re pursuing Paralegal Studies and already have clear goals for your future career. The topic you chose about encryption and authentication is also very important, especially today when so much of our information is online. It’s amazing how encryption helps protect our data without us even realizing it most of the time.
ReplyDeleteHey Angel, pursuing paralegal studies sounds really cool and interesting. I also think that being a martial artist since you were 5 years old is so impressive! Your physical strength combined with your intelligence makes you a one-of-a-kind person that will stand out :) I'm sure you'd get your dream job!
ReplyDeleteHi Angel, it’s interesting to read about your goal of becoming a paralegal and eventually opening your own law firm. That’s a great long-term plan and it sounds like you already have a clear direction for your career. I also agree with what you said about this class teaching us to pay attention to details, because a lot of the assignments show that there is always more to learn about the tools and technology we use. The topic you chose about encryption and authentication is really important as well, since it helps protect information and keeps websites and online activity secure. It’s also cool that you’ve been practicing Shotokan karate since you were young and that it sparked your interest in Martial Art.
ReplyDeleteHello Angel! Pursuing any career involving the legal system seems like it takes tons of dedication, I think it's an admirable goal. This class has also taught me so much about things I weren't previously aware of in terms of computers and the internet. I'm envious of people who have had the chance to learn a martial art since they were young, it seems to instill plenty of positive ideals into the people who practice them. I'll have to look up the Bushido code later on my own time.
ReplyDeleteHi Angel! It’s really cool that you’ve been a martial artist since you were 5 years old that shows your dedication to what you enjoy. It’s great that you’re interested in Japanese culture too. I don’t know much about feudal Japan like you, but I find other parts of the culture very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHey Angel! Law seems like an incredible rewarding field, best of luck on it.
ReplyDelete1.4.11 I agree that encryption is really fascinating, i think of it as something akin to spycraft, hiding information and what not!
Hope you have a great day,
Best,
Rafa
Hi Angel. I agree that this class encourages you to pay attention to the details of the lessons. It is also important to understand the tips for using encryption correctly. I always try to think carefully about what passwords to use before choosing them.
ReplyDeleteAngel, your background in the disciplined study of the Bushido code and Shotokan karate provides a strong ethical foundation for your Paralegal Studies, which you are now reinforcing with technical expertise in LabSim encryption and authentication protocols to ensure the secure and detailed management of sensitive legal information.
ReplyDeleteAngel, it's so cool to see your interest in Japan but to be exposed by it through martial arts is ten times better. I myself have an interest in Japanese culture and wish to travel there one day, have you been?
ReplyDeleteHello Angel, I like how you shared both your academic goals and the discipline you’ve built through martial arts.
ReplyDeleteYour interest in encryption and authentication was interesting topic, and it shows you’re approaching IS101 with focus and curiosity.
Hey Angel, that's cool you've continue Karate, I used to too, but I feel like What I know is good enough. My grandpa is Joaquin Sahagun III 6th degree Black belt in Kenpo Karate and my uncle Philip Sahagun he has a website called Philip Sahagun.com it tells you all he's done too! But encryption is so important we don't want information to land in the wrong hands!
ReplyDeleteHey Angel, keeping up with martial arts is no small feat. I did Judo for a bit when I was little and the only reason I went was so I could play on my dad's phone at the time, but I definitely didn't like it. Good luck with your Paralegal degree!
ReplyDeleteHi Angel, it's so cool you are pursuing your career in law. Looks like you have the perfect hobby for the discipline it takes!
ReplyDeleteHi Angel, that's an awesome career path and I agree this class is a great opportunity for learning because you will learn a lot and you can apply it to your Paralegal Studies. With your background in martial arts, I'm pretty sure you will have the discipline to continue doing a great job in this class and others. Have a great semester!
