Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. I was feeling giddy last evening after finally making it to the single digits of remaining credits. Today reality has settled back in. I have 3 tough upper level ECEâs remaining and need to stay focused.
Iâm typically more of a tortoise than a hare. Last year and for the first time in my life, I found myself stymied in my quest to gain a promotion at work. Skill, ability and experience couldnât get me past the degree requirement. Fear of failure is a strong motivator and it kicked me into high gear. Iâve been on a mission since and have dedicated every spare moment I have to this goal. To say itâs been a tough haul would be a gross understatement. With a demanding job and family responsibilities, those spare moments I mentioned were ones I previously enjoyed for sleep. Of course, you all know the drill and are sharing the experience with me.
I love self study and learning and I truly wish I could have traveled this road at a more leisurely pace. There are a number of courses/exams I would have loved to have taken and a few I could have happily done without. (The demon Statistics comes to mind. :eek: Passing that one took more blood than sweat for me.)
At any rate, Iâm truly grateful for IC and for the opportunity to interact with some very cool people.
Thank you. Best to all!
