I finished my certification class in peer support and...I am certified! I passed!
Yesterday started with a little worry about whether I would pass the weekly test. The anxiety was followed by anxiety about wanting to get the test over with, because they're usually taken at the end of the day. The anxiety was followed by frustration because I felt like I couldn't remember the material. When all was said and done, not only did I become certified, but so did the entire class!
After the scores were tallied, the facilitators had a cake to congratulate us for our achievement.
We were joined by employers explaining their company and positions available, where we had time to converse with them. Then the floor was open for us to share our thoughts.
I left the building with something I haven't felt in a long time: a sense of accomplishment. There have been many times when I didn't complete a task because I thought I couldn't. Now I know I can. I know I will have doubts about my abilities again, but when I do, I won't recall the unfinished tasks of my past, instead I'll look at my certificate.
*sigh*
Now, on to the next one.
