Today was the big day - exam day!
Today, all I had learned up until now, would have to be put to the test. I was VERY nervous. This is my future livelihood at stake here. If I fail, then I will be a disgrace not only to myself, but to my friends and family.Yes, I am very hard on myself.
Anyway, after some breakfast, it was time to pick the assignment. One of 3 categories, like I mentioned yesterday: Stowing, rigging and forklift. I was certain I would pick forklift, since it's the one I have the least practice in. If I picked that, I would certainly fail.
I drew my assignment. It said C. I went over to the table and picked envelope C2. Then, I took my place in front of a computer. We were then told to open up the envelope and look at the assignment.
On the bottom of the page, right there, it said "Stowing a trailer".
All my anxiety. All my nervousness. All my worries. Vanished. Like that! All because I picked stowing, and not forklift. I even picked the trailer that I had practiced on the most, so I was extremely thrilled.
I began to work, taking my time to do it right, but the teachers and the external examiner commented on how fast I was stowing the trailer. Then, one quick load securing later, the test was over.
Long story short: I passed!
I am SO happy!
