I have earned my license for LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)!! I found out today and I am SO happy! I went through a stage of disbelief and almost cried. I have been dreaming of this day for over 25 years! I am proof that no matter what the age, dreams CAN be achieved!

Yes, the state board exam was very hard! I came away feeling as if I failed, and all bummed out! I think that's why I couldn't believe it for a few minutes after I found out. I wish your relative luck and to keep trying :)

Seeing these things made me tear up! Since I couldn't show you in person, quick pictures were the next best thing. You should have seen me shaking, opening the envelope!
