@NicoleTx, ExhaustedCPA, & Keeptrying – Congrats NicoleTx and ExhaustedCPA!!!
I finally did it!! I finally finally did it! Although my journey wasn't as long as everyone elses nor did I have to be a dad during this exam, it has been a very very hard road getting to this point. I am thankful for a supportive wife, family and friends!! I passed REG (I'm Tax) and BEC on the first try, took AUD four times (65, 73,71,93) and FAR twice (65, 76). I am officially done and in tears like most everyone else!!
@ Keeptrying-had I failed I would have lost REG and then BEC by 8/18/2011. I would have felt devastated, ashamed and embarassed. I gained courage not only from those around me but from you mostly. To see your journey from so long ago and to have had your circumstances change with your family throughout the years, you keep going and going and maintain a GREAT POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!! You not once bashed AICPA or NASBA out of deserved frustration. You encouraged all those around you and remained inspiring at the same time. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through this last part. I pass on all my good luck, strength and prayer that you will be done so.
Also, Jeff this is a great website. I've been more of a lurker these past few exams but got more involved this section and enjoyed immensely.
To all those that have passed CONGRATULATIONS and to those who didn't, look forward not behind the light at the end of the tunnel will come and more than anything, know that there are people out there who understand your struggles and have been there, you're not alone and never will be!!
