Today is the day I have been preparing for

When I first decided I wanted to be a personal trainer I had no idea how to get into the industry.  Through a few clicks of my mouse I had it narrowed down to two ways.  With thoughtful prayer and assistance from the VA, I was on my way to an Occupational Associates Degree in Advanced Health and Fitness from Bryan University.  I did not think it would be easy, but I have learned some things that I never had a forethought about.

For the past 13 months I have been knee deep in school life; all for the hope of knowledge to become a personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine, a gold standard in fitness certification.  Known as one of the more difficult exams to pass I feel that I can go in with confidence.  If I do not pass this exam today I will cry like a baby.  The reason I will cry is because with all the information I have been engraining into my head through countless hours of studying, losing friends, and failing in my mom/wife obligations, it will be all for naught.  I sincerely do not expect to fail, i'm just saying.

So today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am still a little over a month from graduation, but if I pass today then I will be a Certified Personal Trainer!  NO if's and's, or but's about it!!!

The learning doesn't stop there.  I will continue to aim for specialty certifications through NASM and other fitness associations.  The first two on my list are Youth Exercise Specialist, and Fitness Nutrition Specialist.

Here I go, in T-2 point 5 hours I will be in the exam room!

I would sincerely appreciate any prayers <3
