EM POC ONLY!!!

This is home for me.

I love all of my comrades on c/em_poc, but I wanna especially give a huge shoutout to @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for doing a lot to help me keep my composure. I don't know if they quite realize how much I appreciate them!

Each and every single one of you makes me feel less alone through these struggles, though.

I hope all of you are well! sankara-bass

    I'm so stressed right now it's unreal

    The final test is coming next week, this will make or break me. If I pass I can move onto revenue service training and actually start serving the public. If I fail I slow the entire class down and risk getting terminated.

    The ability to test air brakes, properly pre-trip inspect a bus, and actually drive it will demonstrate to the county, state, and fed that I can actually serve the public without being a liability.

    Not only that but I'm banking on this one risky career change to be the last one and successful. I am running thin financially and I need to pass to become a real driver, actually help the community, and make a decent earning.

    My family and friends are watching, the stakes are extremely high.

    I'm trying not to sob

      If you fail there must be a way to retake the test, correct?

      Just so you know , I failed the check ride for my private pilots license, then for my instrument rating and finally, for my commercial license. There was one person, out of at least a thousand, who made it through all of the check rides on the first try. None of that meant that I was a bad pilot , there were people who flew right past me and bragged about it only to watch my career excel as theirs stagnated

      Just do your best and if you fail, be extra prepared for the retake

        I had a one on one with the instructor today. I get three chances. Though he warned me each chance gets me closer to termination
