Phew! Onto The Next Step

Over nine weeks ago I sat nervously though a very difficult exam.  This exam, the NCE (National Counselor Exam) is needed to be passed in order for me to practice in the state of Illinois and be able to bill insurance companies.  The test was four hours long, and was the most difficult exam I have ever sat through.  I left this exam feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and sick.  Well...I got the results today, and I PASSED!  I am so grateful to have this piece of the puzzle behind me.  Now I have to finish up my internship (hours with clients) and two classes--one which requires a ginormous portfolio and a defense (where I defend my work in front of three professors).  After that, come August, I will be able to send in my transcripts and supervision sheet to the NBCC and get my results of the test sent to the state of IL and will then be able to sign my name:
