Well, after much deliberation and thought I have taken the plunge and moved forwards. After having a carrot dangled in front of my eyes to do more study which will come at some point from my employer I was tempted to look into courses. I already have a Certificate III in Financial Services but I never went to the next step. The time has finally come to conquer it now that I have my confidence back and feel like I can do things.
On the Anzac Day weekend in Melbourne I managed to conquer my fear of heights and went up 88 floors. I stood on the viewing platform with the wind whipping about my face as I came to terms with how high up I was. I then took it that one step further and went into The Edge which is an elevator cubicle that is made mostly out of glass, except for a few steel beams about the place and was taken out of the building. The glass had some special effects and the next thing I knew I was looking down 88 floors at the world below me. I was scared but excited and was then told the glass could hold 10 tonnes no problem, I then felt brave enough to lie down on the glass with my hands pressed and looked at the world below.
Afterward I felt exhilarated and decided my next challenge would be to abseil down the falls back home so that will be my birthday present. I don't want a party or cake, I just want to enjoy life and experience things I've never been brave enough to do.
I think I now have the confidence to finish what I started and go on and do the Certificate IV in Financial Services. I have to wait until July to find out if I have obtained a place and the waiting is killing me! If I get in then I will make it my personal goal to go all the way to the Advanced Diploma. I know I can do this!
Until next time,
