After accumulating 3000 supervised hours, a long flight from Okinawa to Hawaii, many nights of studying, and a lot of unnecessary stress...I passed my licensing exam! I am now officially a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker! As a result, I am now free to practice on my own, I received a nice raise at work, and I no longer have to stress about traveling and passing the exam!
Thank you to all of you who encouraged me and reassured me that I could do it! I just can't wait to return to Hawaii for a much needed vacation. By the looks of things...It might be a while for that one :-)
