Subject: Read it ,, it is nice for all CCIE
I started Cisco network academy during my university in 2000, it was
first academy in the country. I get my computer engineering degree in
2003, after that I searched for job and in each interview the asked me
what you can do for us. After that I decide to take CCNA and got it in
2003. After that I dream to take CCNP but as it need good budget and i
was started my way in that time I delayer it.
Then with CCNA Certified, after two month I join provider company as
support engineer. I have worked for three years during this time and
dreaming to get CCNP, after work hard and read lot with practice I
completed CCNP in 2006 and the dream become truth. and then join antoher
company as Network Engineer. In additon, having part time teaching CCNA
course for financial purposues as well as background. Then, in Oct'07 I
pass written exam and start prepare for CCIE lab exam, during this time
I teached some courses for CCNA and CCNP as CCIE neet got good budget.
in March, I engaged with nice finacee who support me after she knows
what is CIsco :) ... I used many products to prepare for the CCIE the
most nice one is ASET labs which I like it very much in addition with IE
materials which show you how to verify your work and very nice stuff.
I took the risk and decide to take exam In 20-Oct-2008, I went dubai
before a day of exam, visit the lab location in day before and saw my
proctor. then, I went to GITEX spent nice time there. I planned to have
hard walk this day to have early sleeping. and I do that, I reached
hotel at 8pm take warm shower and sleep, I wake up early morning have my
breakfast then got taxi which is INDIAN nationality, I told him you know
Cisco System company, he said absolutly, I told him please drop me there
it was one hour before exam starting. and The driver spent 1:15 minutes
drive arround Cisco without know which exit to go from. I told him man
STOP here. CISCO building like one kilometer far away, and exam start
over already, RUN AWAY like 100 meters Race :))) I reached the exam
after 15 minutes of starting, I thought am unlucy this day :( and feel
very bad I got the exam start reading very quickly and draw my toplogy
with color pens, start work....... until lunch break we seat for lun!
ch with proctor and all students discussed with him about exam and I
was keep silent then I asked him"Do you beleive that dream will become
truth from first attempt, he answer it is wishing".......... then exam
end.
In the airport, I opened my email from my mobile and check there is one
email score reported, I got stress and feel jajajaja read the email but
nothing there only if u pass u will see ur result in profile and if u
dont u will see details. I called my friend who pass last month and
asked him what u got. he said I got one email score report and then
congrats. email , IN that time i feel poor as i'm fail, my family pick
me from airport I told them I failed :( they all got sad as there is no
chance to retake the exam my mother said osama I don't know why I'm
feeling that you passed, I told her sorry mam I never thought I will
fail but I did :(, the problem as am plan to get married within two
months and no time to prepare again. I reached home and as i'm curios i
need to see my missing point in which section, I open my
profile............SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
