I am blogger Bridgette. I'm sure everyone put that together since I always talk about my 3 daughters in them. 🙂

Gatorbates- love your story- very inspiring! I'm sending this to a couple of my friends who are just starting their CPA journey.

CPAMommy– I remember reading one of your blog posts about not using your circumstances (family, work, etc) as excuses- loved that one too! (I was using my circumstances as excuses for WAY too many years!)

F- 7/13- 84
R- 10/13- 79
A- 11/13- 99
B- 1/14- 86

Licensed in PA- 3/20/2014

This exam ALMOST defeated me back in 2006-2008, but I came back and WON!

@jlough–I caught myself doing it a week or so ago…sick child, helping parents move, work, having to replace a car. I had to reread my entry and kick myself in the ass. I'm so glad it was helpful to you as well!
