Week 6-- *I PASSED!*

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.
