I Reached My First Goal of the New Year

Greetings friends. I know it has been a long time since I have entered a post. Well I have been extremely busy trying to get myself into shape for a very important police test that I set my mind to in January. Here is a little update. I tested with Charleston Illinois Police Department on Saturday July 18 and passed both the written and the physical test. This is such a high point for me in my life. I was able to set my mind to a goal in January and stay focused to reach that goal seven months later. Now of course, this does not mean that I am a shoe in for a position as a police officer, but it does mean that I am in good enough shape to test with every department in Illinois since the test is a standardized test. Check out http://tinyurl.com/lbv3z5 to see the standardized physical test that police officers in Illinois must adhere to.

In closing I would like to thank all of you out there who encouraged me to stay true to my goal and stood by my side. Of course I want to thank my wife Melissa for being the strongest woman on the face of the earth and putting up with my ass for 8 years now. Also big thanks to Zack Bryan, Brian Fogarty and Harold Shores for keeping me on track mentally and physically. Chow for now.

Nathan
