At Tech901, we love getting to know our students on a personal level and we want to share their unique stories with our readers. This Fall, we will have three A+ classes full of students working towards their certifications. Enjoy the highlights as we introduce you to our diverse and promising Tech901 students.

**Meet Joshua Mitchell, a Business major at Southwest Community College with a true passion for computer technology.**  

A lifelong Memphian, Joshua joins Tech901 for our [CompTIA A+ certification course](https://certification.comptia.org/certifications/a) to gain better knowledge of the IT field.

**"I hope to gain mentors in the community to push me forward and help me become better in this field."**

Like many Tech901 students, Joshua sees the benefit of being certified in IT. Employers prefer candidates with certifications and taking the A+ course gives him the upper hand in the IT field.  The tech field is ever-evolving and changing and that influence is a huge draw to Joshua, specifically the gaming technology field.  "Without the influence from games, I would never have been interested in how computers, phones, and other technology devices work," he shares.

With the knowledge and skills acquired in the Tech901 course, Joshua's A+ certification paves the way for his future in the world of information technology.

**Memphis is Poplar Avenue.**

All of Joshua's favorite Memphis activities can be found along this busy Memphis street.  He enjoys catching movies at the [Malco Paradiso](http://malco.com), shopping at the local clothing stores, and dining at the huge variety of restaurants scattered along Poplar Ave.
