Raspberry pi

I have wanted to experiment with a Raspberry Pi since I found out about them in mod 2. I have plans to start a few projects that use a Raspberry Pi, one is a soundboard where I would have to set up buttons to use inconjuntion with a Raspberry Pi, and the other would be an audio-visualizer that would listen to sound and trigger a light display. These big plans bore no fruit as I have run into issues with installing the basic software neccessary to use a Raspberry Pi. With all challenges and pit falls comes some great learning opprotunities.

First and foremost I think it is amazing that you can set up a Raspberry Pi to act as an credit card sized computer, it may not have all the functions you expect out a full fledged computer but you can still do some pretty amazing things. I have learned that by installing 'images' onto your Raspberry pi you can experiment with various operating systems like Unbuntu and Linux. Other great projects involve robotics, music, and even ultrasonic sens

My Story

I would describe my life as a winding lazy river I played sports in school, I've been abroad a few times, I went to college, I worked in sales, I picked up a few hobbies along the way, I did what everybody does when their young, but I always avoided making the big life decision. What do I want to do for a living? I mentioned college and sales, I went to college because that is what you do after highschool. I worked in sales cause I was tired of struggling in college. It worked well, life was simple and everything was taken care of as it should be. That all changed when my father passed away in 2015, then the quiet fleeting thoughts about the future became blaring sirens ever other minute.

I continued my job in sales for another year before I couldn't stand it anymore, 5 yrs and only one promotion I decided I needed a new path. For a year I struggled with the same old problem deciding on a direction. A few conversations with some successful people and a little googling I found Turin

I am very confused as to how Pairin came to some of the conclusions it did, however I can also say that it was accurate about other aspects of my personality. I think what Pairin is trying to tell me about my strengths, which I have always been curious about and constantly seeking more information to make myself better. More informed decisions/responses, is a strength that I can rely on but to not be discouraged by everything I don't know. If I am to succeed in professional and daily ventures knowing my strengths and weaknesses are of pivotal importance. Knowing that I have a strong and inquisitive mind set is good but also understanding that getting lost in interesting but unimportant information can be detrimental to my success in software development. I think it is interesting that Pairin says my strongest driver is reliant. I understand that I work best if I know I have someone I can rely on to ask questions or confide in but this an area of my life where I have been working to be more in
