Took, this at a cemetery in the DC area, ..thought it was appropriate to post.
More nanas!!!
I'm relaxing after my first day at orientation. I really doubted I'd get here at one point. By lunchtime, one guy was gone, and two more by the end of the day! 😮 I've got to get my homework done so I don't join them!

As much as you have to do to get where you are I am sure you won't be one of them.
Nothing easy is worth it and you truly are a shining example of what perserverence means.

Good luck and persevere... you've already proven you have the determination
Congratulations!
And...I PASSED! 😁 First thing I did was stop at the DMV and I picked up my CDL. I'm estatic! I called Schneider today and they're scheduling me for orientation. Thanks for all the help and support from all of you. It's been a tough road, but I got one of the brass rings.
