Well ladies (and gentlemen), I passed my state board exam and I'm officially a REGISTERED Environmental Health Specialist in the state of California!!! Words cannot express how happy and relieved I feel. But let me just start off by saying that hard work does pay off. After completing hundreds of training hours, getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night, and then spending all weekend in the library studying I finally completed my biggest goal of the year! There were definitely moments of exhaustion and stress (I have the acne scars to show for it). There were even moments where I felt like giving up, especially since I was going through some other things in my life at the same time. Thank God for amazing friends and family for supporting me and encouraging me in many of ways. I truly could not have done it without them. I'm so excited to receive my registration card and get a nice pay raise. But that is not the only good news I received this week.....
I got not one, but TWO job interviews this week for positions in San Diego! Going to keep my fingers crossed in hopes that I can land a job. The sooner I can move back to San Diego, the happier this girl will be. I've learned so much since I've been here, and have received a lot of great work experience. But San Diego feels like home to me and I miss everything little thing about it. Please pray for me and send me good vibes this week.
This is such an accomplishment, and it must be a relief for you! So excited for your interview to come back to the best city in the U.S.! I will be graduating with my Psychology degree finally, and I don't quite know what to do with it. Of course, I have to wait until I separate from the military, which won't be for a while, but Environmental Health Specialist sounds so interesting! Hope to hear some good news about your interviews soon! -Jess L
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! Yes, I really hope I get a job offer soon. I can't wait until I get to live in SD again. And Environmental Health is a very interesting field, we do a lot to protect public health that people are completely unaware about. I hope to write some blog posts soon on environmental health topics.
