I would like to dedicate this, my 1,000th post to some meaningful, important people in my life:
1. To my family who sacraficed their time with me, oftentimes begrudgingly, so that I could prepare and help my cohorts prepare. I couldn't have done this test without them - my husband supported me every way he could, my children cheered me on and visualizing their faces got me through this test.
2. To the panel; a thousand thanks to Kwan Jang Nim Corona for always leaving me with something to think about and work on, Sa Bu Num Gallino for all you have done for me, Sa Bu Nim Hills for coming today and for the compliment, Kyo Sa Nim Baines (and Mrs. Baines) for coming - good to meet you sir, Jo Kyo Nim Gallino for tolerating me for so long and for the incredible compliment and Jyo Kyo Nim Sharon (I apologize, Ma'am, I didn't catch your last name) - it's always good to see another woman in this style. It's a day I will never forget.
3. To Jo Kyo Nim Goodrich and Jo Kyo Nim Caughie who helped me prepare, worked with me, studied with me, worked with me, and had PATIENCE with me! Thanks also to Jo Kyo Nim Brian for being my partner on the test - the comraderie you showed us was terriffic! Thanks SO MUCH! You guys rock!!
4. To my dear friends in life who have reached points of frustration with me and stuck with me anyway just because they thought I have a good heart - and that was good enough for them. Much love!
5. To all the idiots who ever did or attempt to victimize me. They all taught me an important lesson and I have now made something good out of their ill-intentioned deeds.
6. Finally, but not least, ALL YOU KEWL PEOPLE HERE ON MT!!! I learn from you all as well and the discussion and debate is fun. You have all been really supportive and I bow to you all and humbly thank you all. YOU ROCK!!
Farang,
