> Hello Team,
> A journey in networking began for me in 1995. When I was hired as an intern to do iventory of cabling and network cards. I didnt even know what a server was back then. I was in the middle of a big ATM LAB project for the Universtiy. I interviewed at Cisco Systems back in 1996, and throught that I had a good idea of networking. Even though I didnt get the job back then I knew that I wanted to learn more about networking. I eventually started from the ground up and learned about servers and networking. Even after I got CCNA and CCNP, I didnt think that CCIE could be that much harder, I was in for a big surprise. Finally, after 5 attempts and almost 2 years of study full time, I have achieved my goal. First of all I would like to thank NetmasterClass, especially Bruce Caslow, Val Palvichenko, Indy Teller, Alexei, Adel and Bob Sinclair, this is the best team I have ever worked with. I learned so much from this company, words just cant describe. I also would like to thank my st!

> y partner for the DOIT labs William Chen, we had very interesting discussions of the issues of the labs. I was very lucky to have such a good study partner with me. I would also like to thank Scott Morris of IPEXPERT, he was with me from the beginning when I was working on the ccbootcamp labs. He always was available for any questions I had. Also, I listen to the IPEXPERT audio on the drive up to North Carolina this time, very entertaining for the drive. I would also like to thank Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis, these guys were really good, I really enjoyed the mock lab workshop and doing all the Internetworkexpert labs, these labs were also very entertaining. For those of you that fail the exam, I really think you have to dig deep within yourself, and ask yourself do you really want this certification. If you do then you just have to eat, live and breathe this stuff. As for advice for the exam, I would recommned to do as Bruce Caslow says "do as may well thought out scen!

I also would like to thank Brad Ellis from ccbootcamp he helped me get started after I passed the written exam. I would also like to thank Karl Solie. I apologize if I left anyone else out, im sure there are others.
