Sweet Certification – A Personal Journey
In January I started a journey I wasn’t sure I’d finish. In addition to the cost involved in taking the journey, I had the difficulties of dealing with some rather unpleasant issues that made completing the journey pointless – but I decided, regardless of what was going on in my life right at the moment, I would move forward and see where it lead me.
I had applied to become a certified Project Manager months before and had all but forgotten about it when I got my invitation to attend an online five month course that would teach me the tools I would need to be a better and more effective Project Manager.
After committing, financially, I made a promise to myself that I would do as much as I could, but that I would allow myself the ability to ‘bow out’ if I needed to. I needed this promise, because I wasn’t certain, given everything going on in my life at the time, that I could commit the daily hours I would need to commit to complete the arduous study and weekly exams.
However, I did and after a few months, I started to realize that I was getting somewhat excited. No, I was getting really excited.
Then, it happened. Just over half way through the course I no longer had a ‘reason’ for completing the training – and that made going through the motions of the course very difficult. But, I stuck it out and I am proud to announce that today, I sat for my proxy exam and scored a passing grade, resulting in my Project Manager Certification.
Sweet glorious joy to the freakin world!
I can’t wait to post a copy of my certificate when I get it in the mail!
Anyway – that’s my news for today. Darn good news it is
