The process of becoming a licenced Clinical Psychologist is quite extensive. It is a process that John has been working on for the past 6 months (a lot of "snail mail" is involved). The biggest part of this process has to do with taking the EPPP (Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology). The test materials to study alone cost $600, and that was on E-bay. To take the test is another $550, and to be really positive about the test, the pass rate is only 50%! So, John got all ready, has been studying for MONTHS, and took it last Thursday. It was a stressful week with a lot of other things and deadlines going on for him. He sat through it for more than 4 hours, and then to quote him, he "felt like punching the windshield out of his car". Anyway, not good. He was devastated, and frustrated, and 99.9% sure that he had failed it. Not good for me either, his whole career depends on this test, and he swore he wouldn't take it again until he was ready (May or June). I felt guilty for pushing because I'm anxiously awaiting the pay increase! Anyway, to make a long story short, after much fasting, prayer, and faith and support from our families, this is what we found in the mail on Saturday:
Notice the CONGRATULATIONS, I felt like this was blog worthy today.
