This was one of the best things I've read in a while. Congratulations on attaining what appears to be your dream job, its proof that hard work and dedication really does pay off. As you will know, it can be difficult choosing a career path or even just deciding what we are passionate about and whether its feasible to make a living out of it. It warms my heart reading your blog as your words are filled with excitement and sincerity, Cisco is lucky as well to have people like you and your colleagues.

It's important to build a home away from home as well, I love how at ease and comfortable you are with your work community. Your words will help others strive for their dreams, as well as realize the importance of going out and interacting with others. It can be difficult to sum up what we are really feeling and put it into words, but this was incredible and I hope you continuously grow and achieve all that you set out to accomplish.

All the best!
