With Christmas Day over I actually had a few minutes to breathe. In my quest to breathe a more stressless breath I thought about the exam I took on the 18th of December. I wondered if I had passed because I hadn't heard, but then again it had only been 8 days since I took the test. I logged into the AAPC site. Meagan was sitting a few feet away from me and Sarah was in the living room. I thought I would pop right out of my skin when I saw the title "CPC-A" next to my name. I remember the test proctor telling us before the test that we would know when we logged into the site it would say "CPC-A" after our name. The "A" stands for apprentice. I screamed! You as a group will never know how happy I was that I passed. The test was so hard and there were so many different reasons I could have failed:
- The room was icy cold
- I had not studied very much
- I was taking care of Sarah by myself
- My husband was in Afghanistan
- The house is under construction
- I had injured my ankle and was possibly facing surgery
There were so many excuses I was ready to give if I failed. I didn't need an excuse. I passed. I need to finish my apprenticeship and get a job. This is the field I wanted more than anything. Now to finish so I can become gainfully employed and the rest of my life will fall into place.
Thank you so much for being with me during this!
Much Love,
Kathi
