Subject: CCIE....it's my turn.
All,
I'm sure this has unofficially replaced the "signing the wall" culture
at CCIE lab centers.
I feel humbled and proud to say it's my turn to write this mail after a
very very long wait. I passed the CCIE R&S lab yesterday @ Brussels'. I
am writing this mail to specially thank the guys that put this group
together; Paul B and you all for contributing. I wanna thank the likes
of Brian D and Brian M for the great approach they have towards training
as evident in the various Lab materials they put in the public domain.
Scott M, for being there and for all his work towards this goal.
I especially want to appreciate my study guys, Yemi Salau and Chika
Acha.
Funny I consider you guys better at this exam thing, so yours will
happen very soon. Thanks for the countless conf. calls and the many
heated debates which drove us to the IE materials, CCO and the likes for
verification.
Guys, it matters who proctors your lab? I want to say a big thanks to
Rob my proctor @ Brussels, you really made a difference. Forgive me
though, Americans just have a way of making you feel comfy (I'm not
talking about Bush now)!? And this is a personal opinion by the way. Rob
is the only proctor in Brussels that's made me feel relaxed by his
approach to proctoring. You really need to be around one that makes you
feel comfortable and Rob did that for me. Thanks Rob.
My final words; the CCIE is a process, let it pass through you don't
just pass through it; it could hurt you in the future.
Now about me; the number is 18787 (for those that keep track, I used
to). I am presently a Network Architect (that varies from company to
company) with about 8 years of experience. I started the journey back in
2002 with my 1st try @ San Jose, and I "parked" it till now due
to....getting Married, moving...moving...., having a baby (more like my
wife having a baby).
I came back from a holiday 10 days to my lab, as much as would not
recommend that, it helped take my mind of things. I almost regretted it
though.
It's been long and hard, but here I am today. I do believe that "tough
times never last but tough people do"! Keep hacking.
Finally, I would like to thank my "Father who art in Heaven" for the
insight, my wife "sweetie" for the patience and my son for always waking
me up, when I needed to be up reading and not sleeping.
Sorry sounds like an Academy award yah....?
Now to CCIE Voice.....my wife must not hear this!
