It is so encouraging to scroll through the comments and see many people who were directed here from the Google Analytics Course. I feel so motivated to continue this journey, knowing that I am not alone. Data analysis has purpose, as the talk said and I hope to put data analysis to good use as I learn now and get to practise later.

Hey there! I just finished Week 5 too, and to be honest, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at times. Sometimes, I even question whether I made the right choice to switch careers. But reading all of your encouraging comments really inspires me to keep pushing forward! I'm going to save this and let you all know when I land my first job as an analyst. Thank you all for the support!

Three main take outs from the talk, in my opinion;
1. Data analyst need to have good people skills and should always be listener.
=> when she talks about how she transitioned from talker to listener in her career and how it impacted her work
2. The path is long and winding with ups and down so you need to be consistent
=> her journey from math major to analyst to a parent to a student she was consistent in pursuance of her passion
3. The power of storytelling is critical to understand patterns and gain insights from it
=>how data analyst is as much as arts as it is a science
