Oh happy day!

When I walked into the Pearson Vue examination center, I felt like I was in one of those gas chambers in boot camps. I just couldn't breathe well and obviously I could not think critically enough to do the questions right. At least, that's the way I felt the whole time during the exam. When I was done at 86 questions, my feet felt heavier than ever because I knew I had failed it and that I would have to go home and do it all over again. I had to go somewhere in the big city of Grand Rapids Michigan and do something to help myself forget about everything in order to start it over. I ended up going home to sleep......I sat home the next day in solitude and I did it again and again a day after another. All this time, I'd known clearly that I had failed. I just had to give myself enough time to get through the time of depression. Another day came, I woke up to a phone call from my best friend. He called to leave a word of encouragement for me and to say that I'm too blessed to be that depressed. And I thanked him and dragged myself to the computer. I didn't want to do this but I entered the Pearson Vue website and got logged into my account. I clicked the result link and closed my eyes shut. When I opened my eyes, the word "PASS" was there but not very noticeable. I smiled and thanked God for going through this battle with me all along. I just wanted to share with everyone because all of us know we stress our minds and hearts way more than what's necessary and after all our accomplishments we will eventually realize that so clearly. Fellow students! Trust me, everyone knows how hard you try to become what we all want to be. You are not there alone and you are not going to fail. Think positively and pass! And let's share our stories to everyone here with words of encouragement.
