Another Step Closer

Another big step closer to adding another two letters after my name.

When my clock at work read 11:56am today, I went to the website thinking I want to find out the very first moment that the results are released. To my surprise, they were already there. Clicking and scrolling through the pages was the hardest. Before I even got there, my phone was already ringing.

I did it. I passed this exam that is recognized as one of the most difficult professional exams in the world. =)

But the best part is WE did it. All three of us that studied through all the exams together. We all made it through, and nobody was left behind. That is the best feeling.

A year ago from now, we were all starting to study for the very first exam. Everybody was stressed out then, but compared to this, that was very easy. It's been a stressful year: endless hours of studying, endless hours of case writing, exam after exam. But here we are.

Thank you to my two study buddies who taught me so much through our endless hours together in the library. Thank you to our other study friends. Thank you to all my other friends who have listened to me complain and kept me going through the most stressful times. Perhaps some of you don't even know you've helped me, but you have in the some very subtle but important ways. I couldn't have done it without all of you.
