There is one distinct difference that I have noticed between last years Forged black belt test and this years Generations test. This year, there is more teamwork. I'm not saying that last year there wasn't teamwork, I'm just saying that there is more apparent teamwork. I can ask anyone for help and know that that person will do whatever we can to help and to the best of their ability. And I know that if another tester was to ask me for help I would give them the same devotion and assistance that they would've given to me in my time of need. It was probably the same last year but not as open. This year feels like we are truly a team.
This week of my test is devoted to catching my binder up and making it ready to present to CGN Paula Hoskins. My secondary goal is to help my teammate, Joel, in the exact same area which I am struggling in. Both Joel and I tested during the Forged test and had to drop out for personal reasons. This year WILL be different. I will NOT fail this test and I will NOT let a fellow tester, instructor, and friend fail either.
Erick,
ReplyDeleteyou have to know by now that we believe in you! As instructors, both you and Joel represent more than just yourselves and your testing team....you represent what you are teaching. This is your opportunity to back up what you say with what you do. Those actions will influence your students in a huge way!! This writing is your story, TELL IT!
