Thank you for the post. It is daunting looking down the long road that some have in front of them, but this reminds me that every step is worth it.

Cheers!

Laura;

If there ever was one person I expected to see pass it is you. Your dedication and enthusiasm should be bottled for future candidates. All the best to a great friend.

Laura,

It’s definitely been a pleasure to "grow up" with you during these exams in knowledge, service presence and tasting evaluations. I remember the Laura who seemed shy that has evolved into the Laura who is a great mentor and friend. Your determination and strive for the ultimate goal is evidenced in you “NEVER” giving up attitude. I too have taken the MS exam multiple times only to have fallen short and missing the mark. This makes me want it even more and to strive to be better every day. I'm proud of you and your accomplishments and hope to only follow in your footsteps. Congratulations again and I hope to join you soon.
