To the Cisco Team & Omar Santos/H4cker:

[BlueWinterWolf]

For years I have been trying to learn everything you have put it your Cisco course and in this repository. Mainly because I had to medically retire due to ill health and was unable to physically do it anymore (so I knew I had to have a backup plan) and I wanted to find a new job in the security industry (as that is the industry I love and am best at and don't really have any other skills apart from basic web dev) so that I could still be useful and still work. Now I have found the Cisco course, (which is thanks to David Bombal - from YouTube - for making a video about the course) I am now able to focus on this and at the end, be able to get a new career.

Because of the course as well as the time and effort you and the Cisco team have put into making this extraordinarily amazing course, I would like to personally thank you all because I now have another chance to work and stay in the industry I spent years in and giving to and loved. I never thought I would be able to find work again, let alone find something I truly love and enjoy and the fact I have always had a passion or technology and security I am now able to put them together and start again.

So again I say, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU GUY'S SO VERY MUCH, and I look forward to completing the course and maybe someday working with &/or collaborating with you and the team in the future.

Many thanks and respect,
BlueWinterWolf.
