Our Heroine Michelle - A "CCIM" Certificate Goer

It’s my usual routine to turn on my computer and check my mailbox soon after I get home. Tonight (Thursday, Feb. 26th) I had a T/Ms meeting, and it was around 11:00 pm when I got home. I was a little depressed because I got off the wrong exit on the freeway and made a wrong turn which took me at least twenty min. more than usual on the road. Quite a lot new mails since I last checked it before going to the meeting. especially when I have meetings at night and get home late.

Michelle’s mail with a new subject "CCIM" caught my eyes. Without thinking, I could tell immed. that she must have got the approval from the Institute for her portfolio presented to the Institute a few weeks ago. We have heard her talking about it several times, and were all very sure that she would eventually get it approved.

She joined the CCIM class more than six months ago spending all her Saturdays travelling between Taipei and HsinZhu, doing research, writing reports, etc. The toughest challenge for her was to complete the portfolio requested by “CCIM” Institute as the doorstep for receiving CCIM Certificate. We had some goldies activities without her. It was a loss to us, yet on the other hand we understand perfectly. To her, there was nothing more important than concentrating on the project she was doing at that time. When she showed up in the first clogging class right after Chinese Lunar New Year and mentioned that she finally finished the portfolio and sent it out ahead of all her classmates, we had the feelings that she would make it. A job finished in a rush can’t be satisfactory. Michelle had it done way ahead of the schedule. It’s the right attitude to get things done well and deserve a high reward.

It’s an exciting news worth celebrating. We goldies decided to do it for her accomplishment. Michelle was in Vietnan sending us the good news. She will be back from her business trip in two days. We can’t wait to see her to tell us more details and to discuss more details for the celebration party.

Our salute to Michelle! What a capable and respectable career woman!
