Reigniting My Passion for Learning: My First Impressions of CSN & IS101

Hi, I'm Paulina! ๐ŸŒŽ✨

I'm a Las Vegas local with roots in Mexico City, always looking for ways to grow and challenge myself. Currently, I'm furthering my education in business and diving into IS101 to enhance my knowledge and open new doors. I believe learning is the key to moving up in the world, and I'm excited for the journey ahead!

Beyond academics, I love horseback riding, enjoy classic shows like I Love Lucy, and have a soft spot for anything burgundy (seriously, best color ever!). I recently joined a book club that mainly reads psychological thrillers, which is totally new to me, but I'm excited to explore this genre!

Life is all about balance, so when I’m not hitting the books, I’m spending time with family, friends, and my twin boys.

Excited to see where this path takes me!

My first impression of IS101 is that it’s going to be a valuable and insightful course that will strengthen my tech skills and help me in my professional journey. I’m excited to learn more and challenge myself with new concepts!

As for CSN, I’m resuming school after nine years, and from the moment I started, CSN gave me a warm welcome and created a great environment to reawaken my passion for learning. It feels like the perfect place to grow, challenge myself, and achieve my goals!

I also have to say that Professor Albert Wu is great at what he does. He shows tough love, but it really pushes you to think critically and solve problems independently. I appreciate that he makes himself available to his students, which makes a huge difference in the learning experience.
