The accomplishment I'm most proud of in the LAC172 class

This might sound facetious, but I am most proud of persevering and finishing (almost) the class.  There were times in the first few weeks that I honestly was going to drop the class.  Since I'm completing my degree for my own satisfaction and not as a requirement for a job, I thought I'd just finish later (and maybe find a university that didn't have such a requirement).  Well, oh my, after almost crying over a few assignments (like the spreadsheet and the power point AT THE SAME TIME, two things I've never done, I took a deep breath (thanks to Michael's patience and help in large part) and thought that I could learn a few new computer skills.  It didn't matter if I would use them again, voluntarily or not.  Somewhere along the way I began to see how the world has been changing through technological advances.  The last assignment we did, the iMovie, was the most enjoyable because I finally felt comfortable and felt like I was beginning to recognize certain patterns and universal computer concepts, icons, etc.   I also had the confidence that if I had not finished it in class, I would be able to do the assignment on my own.
