I am sitting for the 2023 exam as a challenge to myself. After 20 years at the same organization, two years ago I moved from California to Wisconsin and started a "new" career. My first week coincided with the world shutdown due to Covid. Working remotely in a new role was challenging but I survived. I took a bit of a demotion by transferring from Communications to Executive Assistant but am enjoying the variety and challenges of my new role. It's been many long years since I was a student, so I'm a bit rusty. I want to prove to myself that I can achieve this goal. I want to broaden my skill set and knowledge base to give the best support to my team of executives. And finally, I want to show my boys that I am still choosing growth - professionally, personally, and intellectually. I feel excited, super nervous, and hopeful about this journey. Good luck to everyone on the same journey!

Best of luck in your certification journey

Best wishes on your CAP certification journey.

I love that you included your boys into your 'why' - and showing them that dreams and goals are attainable, no matter when you decide to go for it! My boys were a big part of my 'why', too! I have no doubt you'll do well. Best of luck to you!
