Congratulations, Monica! I have a bit further to go than that...quite a bit further to go than that...and I have until February to do it. I really need to get out of the slump I've been in lately and get cracking, but congratulations to you! Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mercy0421 Please contact me if I may not recognize your contact info before adding me or I may not add you!

Yay! I just looked and found that I just have to earn $5 more in credits to earn next year's membership. It seemed like such a big goal when I first came here, and 2 of my early submissions were rejected straight away. Now it seems totally doable since I have 2 and a half months to get there. I wrote this to tell our newer volunteers that it can be done without totally losing your mind, and it gets easier as time goes by. I feel like I'm in the home stretch of a race with the finish line in sight. And now I see that all of my mistakes and fals starts taught me how to work well so I could win my race. If your first submissions or validations don't come out too well, ask for help and feedback. Soon you'll be writing in to say you're about to earn your membership too. I'll be cheering for you.
