Sometimes You Cannot Compromise....
I received news that the due to insufficient students, the fifth module of AMII Level One will not have classes. I was given the option to either defer the paper or self-study for the exams.
The last four modules, I have taken online classes to prepare for the exams. To prepare for the fifth module exam without classes is a new kind of challenge. I am not willing to defer the paper as I am afraid that I may get lazy and procrastinate the certification process.
Self-studying will pose different type of challenges especially on self-discipline and time management. These new challenges will test how badly I want this certification. If I want it bad enough, I will actively put in the time and effort.
To ensure that I set myself up for success, I reach out to my old study group on anyone who are studying for the fifth module. Fortunately, one classmate stepped up and volunteered to be a study partner. Thus, the journey of self-studying is less lonely now. With a study partner, we will hold each other accountable and ensure each other's success.
The journey to our dreams is never a straight line. Sometimes it can be more difficult than normal. But we cannot compromise our dream, the only way is to face the obstacles and find ways around it.
