Google is like my partner in my everyday life because it is my go-to platform for almost everything! With just a click away from the search engine, I can find all the needed articles, blog posts, images, and videos!

Google also helps me easily communicate with everyone online around the world. I can send and receive emails, plan my schedules using Google Calendar, track my everyday tasks with Google Keep, and edit my docs using Google Docs. I can even create an online survey to share with everyone. How lucky of us all to have something like Google, right?

Since I’m in the process of transitioning my career to UX, I searched for free courses online, and I stumbled upon the Coursera platform that provides online education for everyone. On this platform, I saw the Google UX Design Certificate and became curious about how UX works on their end. So I applied for Financial Aid for this certification, and luckily, they granted me!

Since Google advised their students (who are taking the courses) that it is more productive and motivational if we have a group or community where we can discuss the topics and help each other in these courses, I’ve decided to join a specific Facebook Group named Google UX Design Certificate Group | Coursera. I posted about a study buddy in the same phase as me, like Course One, because I just recently started. I didn’t expect that there would also be many students who just recently started!

I am delighted because I can do my self-paced study and get a certification after completing these seven courses from the Google UX Design Certificate. I am excited to learn more.

I am grateful to be part of this Google UX Design Certificate and to do my best not just to finish the seven courses but to understand and apply all the knowledge and skills to my future endeavors.

I will update my learning and experience as much as I can! ♥️
