One of the milestones in my Master’s degree is a test I had to take called the TExES Gen 111 Exam (it is the Texas Equivalent to the Praxis II Exam). I have been stressing about this exam for months because I haven’t been able to find the time to study. Well, the day came to take the test and I had completed 1 practice test and a few parts of another practice test and didn’t feel like I was ready to take it. However, it was the only chance I have to take it and pass or all of our plans will be ruined (Our plans include me student teaching in the winter of 2011 and Blaine starting at BYU in the fall of 2011. If I didn’t pass, my student teaching would be pushed back to fall of 2011 and Blaine would either miss a semester of school, or I would stay in Texas to students teach and he would do a semester in Utah without me. Either way, we didn’t like the idea.)
So, I got up that morning and ate a good breakfast, dithered about the apartment and finally my husband convinced me to walk out the door. We arrived at the test center with 45 minutes to spare, but I went in anyway and was able to get started right away. I completed the test in about 3 hours, which includes double checking and changing some answers. Since then I have been every so impatiently waiting for my scores to appear. They appeared online this morning and I PASSED!!! I have been so excited all day! One step closer to being a teacher (and doubling my current salary) :)
