Hey, thats crazy - I got my first stripe on that same day! Congrats, I kinda felt like I might not have earned it either. I've been kinda going through some personal problems and I felt like that might have had something to do with it, but then again I know I get better everytime I go so maybe we aren't giving ourselves enough credit. I have definitely been trying to show that I deserve it though. Anyway, congrats again.
