So. It was an experience, let's just say that. I had some ups and downs. Last week I passed pretrip no problem and failed skills because I let the pressure get to me. But today, the 5th anniversary of my dads death, I tested out. It was an emotional day but I knuckled down and managed to get zero points on skills and minimal on the road test. Headed back to Ohio in the morning to get ready for the next phase!

Obviously not for long! Congrats. I was as nervous as the devil in Church during testing day. Good luck out there. Once again I am going to give you a phrase that I picked up from G Town. "Mind your wagon Driver". I actually say it out loud to myself many times in a day. It works, I've never hit a thing! Remember, GOAL, you can't look too many times!!
