When I registered for the course I was so excited until I rushed into it after a parent death, a bad cold but later found out I had walking pneumonia. I lost a parent in 2014 and another one in 2017 and it is the hardest thing to lose a parent. I know that it will get better because for four years I was a caregiver that quit my job of 22 1/2 years with the State of Florida to take care of a parent that had Dementia/Alzheimer's.  With this course I was not doing my best work and had to sit back, get better and take my time and learn the material.  I had to learn how to apply the knowledge of the course.  For me the critical connection was between the material I learned and how to use the material to succeed in the course, the quizzes and exams.  With those few days to get myself together I realized that repetition is the key to success.  My best preparation would be knowing what to study and how to study.  I needed to have a proper mindset, intensity, focus, acknowledge my goals, be stress free and learn the terminology.  Now that I know what I need to do I am starting from the beginning so that I can be a better learner of the material and pass the quizzes and final exam.  Since, I had not been in school in a long time I needed to learn how to navigate the online training course so that I can stay on the road of my goal of completing the course with SUCCESS! Now I am ready (smile)!
