Best quote of the night: "We decided that even if you came in here and bombed this tonight, we still would have passed you."
I feel so good right now! I PASSED! Holy crap, I was so nervous all day long. Mostly because of how rocky class went for me last week. But for real! I passed! And it gets better...
My instructor told me that my paper (from a few weeks ago) was at the top of the class, and another instructor said my oral presentation was their favorite. They said I have the greatest foundation and experience coming into the program and they know I'm going to be a good counselor. *Relief!*
They were so nice and complimentary. They told me I'm a natural leader and look forward to having me in their classes. One said he looks forward to having me as a colleague in the future. Awesome.
I even told my instructor how much she rocked me last week and my confidence was totally shaken. She began to apologize, but I quickly thanked her for being tough on me because it caused me to practice tons throughout the week, study, and really learn what I had been over-looking from before. I also asked if I could give her a hug before I left. Haha.
And to close with one more lovely quote, when I walked into the room (I was the last person to go tonight), one of the instructors said, "I think we saved the best for last." I felt much better after that. :)
School counseling master's program-- the real deal-- here I come.
Thank you for believing in me.
