May you live in interesting times

May you live in interesting times, is a Chinese way of wishing bad to someone.

Is it really bad?

Not always.

Pathways may seem bad to some, to me it was and still is godsend. It gave me something new I needed. It offered what to learn and also to teach.

Pathways is here to stay, even if it may still change a bit - or for sure.

I am open to see what and how.

May 2017: Level 1 VC - first

5 May 2017, first time I finished Level 1.
15 May 2017, finally I got it approved

Why did it take so long? 10 days. Because no one in the club needed an approval, none knew yet how to do it. I was the first in the club to finish a Level. The VPE could not figure it out, finally the President did.

I was so proud of myself, I got my first ever Pathways Award! At my old age, I proved I can still do something new. I still remember the joy!

From that time on, I proved, proved proved.

This toastmasters year, here are my awards. Yesterday, my last was approved and got it in club central in 10 minutes, or less. So far, 8 Level awards for this TM year.

Level Completion - did it change?

Completed the Evaluation, the third task of Project 2 of Level 1.

I finished my last Project - the Evaluation and Feedback third task, and did Evaluate a Toastmaster, it was my last Project of Level 1 as I did before the Research and also the Icebreaker, and of course, the two speeches from the Project Evaluation.

The Activate Level 1 Completion suddenly available, I clicked immediate "Mark completed" arrived without the page that I had before to dismiss.

What was my surprise also that View Certificate was available, without a BCM having had time to mark it approved in the Basecamp. What happened?

I will have to go to one of my clubs where I am BCM to see if the approval is still waiting...
