I'm Alright

Thanks so much for all your love prayers and support.

I guess I just wanted it SO BAD.  I know there is a reason I did not pass the first time.

My boss Gary expected it to happen.  He said no one passes the first time....but you know me....I like to be different.

I mean they didn't even order a congratulations cake  because they KNEW I  would fail it the first time.

I didn't know.

But I am ok now.

And THEN..... Gary tells me that on Sunday...the day before I went to class there was an article in Sundays paper that said that the school was a rip off and didn't really teach you what was on the test....

After taking the test I believe this.

I seriously was looking to see if I was even taking the RIGHT test a couple of times because there was at least HALF of it that was never taught in the classes.

I am just going to study the book on my own.

Gary said he had to take it twice and it was in 1970 something when he took it.

Ann had to take it twice too.

I guess God thought if I passed it the first time that they would call me Smarty Pants or something....IDK

Any who.....I am ok now.

Thanks so much for praying for me.  It helped me alot....

Speaking of which.....I was nervous because I had to find the testing center which was in another place.

I left in plenty of time and then....the ramp I normally go on was closed for construction.  I had to take a detour.....not very clearly marked.....

But I found my way.,

I just want to pass this quickly because I have run out of things to file.  I straightened out 26 drawers of stuffed folders.

Now all I will have is the day to day filing and doing quotes and answering the phone.  Until I get my license.

but....

I'm Alright!

Best of luck the next time. Studying the book on your own is probably the wise thing to do. I know how you feel though. When you want soething so badly.  You'll get it.
Hugs, Barb

If I may, exactly what God had planned for you was exactly what happened, no matter what kind of school it was, yes?  And how does this make you a "failure" how did you "fail" as you say?  I smiled when thiunking, "I bet she does it herself, her way."  Whether a sham school or not, this is life happening.  To you!  It's wonderous and challenging and you've been blessed with a fine, curious and sharp intellect which you are so anxious to use.  Dazzle yourself!  xoxo CATHY

Hey, it's good to hear you've perked up again. You'll do just fine next time round. It's a disappointment to fail, but as you say,there's always a next time :-))
