In the Most Memorable Category:
On May 17, 2013, Paulina Bandy receives passing email from tutee who lost her job before the start of her tutorial because she could not pass the CA Bar Exam. As a multiple repeater, her confidence was shattered. She flourished in the Let's Do This ThingSM tutorial and the victory was sweet...
"I owe it all to you. Thank you for everything."
---February 2013 Candidate
November 17, 2012, Paulina receives tutee email encapsulating her goals for the Repeaters' ResourceTM...
"I PASSED!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement!!!... Thank you!! I owe so much of my success to your help and guidance! I relied so heavily on your prompts and framework through the whole experience. You really shaped me and helped me see things in a way that I just couldn't before. Thank you for believing in me and for your support. I still can't believe I finally did it! My emotions are still all over the place. After six tries, I just expected to take the exam again because I didn't want to get my hopes up just to be crushed again. After three years of trying to pass the bar exam, all I know is studying and now I'm kind of in shock and don't know what to do, hahaha. It's like a whole new life just began! Well, again, thank you for your help and guidance, and most of all your kindness!"
