Finally!!!

At this very moment, I think I am the happiest person alive. I took the civil engineering board exam last weekend and I am very happy after seeing my name on the list of successful examinees. This is my dream. I celebrated my birthday a day before the result was posted and I think this is the best gift I've ever received for my birthday.

I don't know why I'm so blessed. I might have done something really good in my past life. I always tell people that I am not religious but I have always kept my faith in God. No, you won't see me going to church every Sunday, but I do pray. I prayed really hard, and my prayer was answered. I can't be more thankful.

This, I offer to my family. I have a very supportive family and they have always believed in my capabilities. When I didn't know how to answer the exam questions, I thought of them. I wanted to see their smiling faces and tried answering the exam again. I'm not only thankful to my immediate family, but to my bf's family as well. They gave me so much love and support.

I am very thankful to my friends as well. I had to say "no" to many party invitations and they understood. Many of them prayed for me. 

To my RareJob family, my fellow tutors, bosses, staff and students. I've been receiving love from Japan since I started working three years ago. My students wished me luck. Some of them even visited temples to pray for me. I feel so loved. Arigatou gozaimasu minna-san!

Many thanks to the instructors and staff of Review Innovations. I haven't met such dedicated people before. I learned a lot from them. They taught me and the other reviewees well but more than the academic part, they have inspired us to do our best. I know that RI will be around for many more years and will help future engineers reach their dream.

I'm happy I am living a new chapter of my life. Thank you everyone.
