Colleagues, tonight was my last exam and now I'm done. I followed this site since halfway into my first exam, and needless to say this was one of the most encouraging, insightful, and useful sites I've ever experienced – and I'm not only comparing it against other CPA sites. It's the habitual users who log in, encourage people, comiserate with people, let out their frustrations, and let out their elations everyday who make this site so great. I identify myself with most users – didn't care to post, but rather lived vicariously through the ups and downs of the other people posting.
My insight after this whole experience: Everyone, and with confidence I mean EVERYONE, feels exactly the same way everyone else feels. This forum is a great way to cope.
To all who are fighting the good fight: Please, keep fighting. Those of you who've shared with everyone, shown how many times you've taken & retaken – you are all an example of true commitment and perseverance. You encourage all the comrades around you. The only step left is to pass, and this forum is your biggest fan section.
Sorry for leaving such a long-winded diatribe; this is 4 exams worth of venting I wanted to let out! Thank you, Jeff, for bringing everyone together, but most importantly – thank you, fellow warriors of the CPA exam, for making this place a haven for borderline-crazy worriers like myself. Let's always keep forums like this as strong as possible, and I'm sure there will always be a way to stick it to the Man, excuse me, I mean the AICPA.
