Well after a year since I started on this process I finally passed a part!!!

I found out Friday that I passed REG! It literally was one of the happiest moments in my life! I have struggled so much and have really let this exam take control of my life in a negative way, and to finally get something good out of it feels great.

It was much easier to wake up early Saturday morning to study for BEC. I felt motivated. I have always felt like even though I put in more effort than anyone else I personally know, I get nothing out of it. Now, I am starting to feel different.

I am hopeful that in November I could be finished with this process and start getting my life back (for a month before busy season). I can't wait to read again, run again, watch tv at night again. I am going to continue working as hard as I have this entire time so I can beat this exam ASAP.

Congrats to everyone who found out they passed over the weekend. If you did not, hang in there. I know how it feels, but passing feels SO much better. Stick with it so you can have this feeling too!
