All about the best $260 I have ever spent... - lrgaul - 02-28-2009
[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]I feel this interesting mix of happiness and sadness after canceling my InstantCert membership tonight.
I "met" several brilliant people on this forum who really understood my CLEP obsession. I interacted with people who agreed with me, and I interacted with people who didn't. All of the people I met on this forum were people who were willing to work hard at something that they somehow knew would be worth the hardwork when they were done. I hope that all of you know that I truly couldn't have stayed motivated without you
I will be graduating with my Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts this May, and I am officially done with all of my general education requirements. My bachelor's degree will also be complete this upcoming December, which I am so excited about. Unfortunately, I do not have anything else that I can CLEP out of.
Over the course of my studies, I was inducted into an academic honors society at my local community college. On March 2nd, I am running for an officer title with this society and my proposal includes an initiative that will focus on providing GED and CLEP tutoring to traditional and non-traditional students who, for any number of reasons, were unable to complete high school and/or go on to college. Please keep me in your thoughts as I pursue this because I believe that my society chapter can help many underserved people who can and will make a tremendous difference in the world if they are provided with the right resources to help them succeed.
Of course, InstantCert will be a huge component of my proposed initiative. I am hoping to inquire about a multiple-account system to help others succeed in reaching their full potential.
I have been so happy with InstantCert, and all of the wonderful people I have met here. All said and done, I consider this to be the best $260 I have spent in a long, long time. I would like to offer a sincere thank you for the contributions you have made to this forum. I am very proud of all of you for rising above the statistics to become the very best you can be.

What a great post! Thank you!
I am getting very close to being done with all the tests that I can clep, and yourpost put into words some of the things I'm feeling.
I think your idea for clep tutoring is a great one. It could help a lot of people. Don't forget, cancelling your subscription for the cards does not mean that you're not welcome on the boards....please don't be a stranger. We'd love to hear how you're doing, and how your plans are working out.
Best of luck to you.
