On the contrary, my career as mortgage underwriter is starting to get a bit better. I am still struggling through the growing pains however, thankful that I did step outside my comforter zone. I will always being proud of myself for stepping out off, and pushing through fear. Let get into my December goals.

- Standalone in my new career. Do 1 more mortgage everyday than the day before. Make my way up to underwriting 40 loans a day.
