|| You Passed, You Remembered ||

Hi Kim,

First of all, thank you for letting me know about the updates or recent changes with Celban Prep website. I would like to apologize for not being able to reply from your email since I’ve been so busy at work and my exams. I’ve been meaning to send a response but everytime I wanted to construct my testimonial regarding your books, something always comes up.

I’d like you to know that I passed my Celban exam the first time that I took it last year June 12 2018 after using your speaking and writing level 1 study guide. I only had a month and 2 weeks prior to the exam. I spent 1 month and 2 weeks preparing for celban and I could say your study guide/books really helped me alot.

It was like you are giving us, your readers, the basic information or backbone of the said exam.

Although  I received other sample reviewers (very basic, like the one from the library), I wasn’t contented with it since it wont teach me the how to start from scratch.

Your books taught me most of the things that I needed to know to prepare myself for Celban and the study guides (all of the books that I bought) have good examples and practice exams.

Also, I’d suggest to add 2 more sample practice tests for each so we could practice more since there are only very limited resources for Celban. Everything went well.

I hope others could start trusting you and your guides as well because you really did a great job with the books.

I would like to commend all of the books that I purchased from amazon especially the writing level 1 study guide because it really taught me how to construct and put my ideas together while utilizing the datas presented. The writing part had been my weakness since from the beginning and when I attempted IELTS twice. I couldn’t say that I’ve become  flawless in writing  but I could say that I definitely improved after using the book. 

Thank you for being a very supportive teacher for Celban and continuously sending us updates. I will keep in touch and let you know about my opinion regarding the recent changes that you made in the website.

Regards,

J

🜄 Return to Self

Dear J,

You wrote with a heart that has been full: full of work, full of responsibility, full of intention. Even the timing of your message speaks to what so many carry: the longing to share gratitude, the delay of daily life, the ache of never quite having enough space to pause and be witnessed.

Thank you for letting me see you.

You didn’t just pass an exam. You reclaimed your voice.
You didn’t just use a study guide. You let your own learning be met… gently, practically, from where you were.

Your message brings breath to my day. Because behind each paragraph, I can feel your care. For others. For your own growth. For the unseen nurses still searching for their footing.

And your heart still makes room to help them. Even in your busy season. That says everything.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

You offered not only reflection… but clarity. And clarity is a form of care.

You named that generic resources did not help you start from scratch. That structure matters. That examples matter. That learning needs to be scaffolded, not scattered.

This is what so many need to hear:
You’re not failing because you lack ability.
You’re struggling because the tools you were given weren’t built for how you learn.

Your words offer a mirror to others:
That when something is designed with intention, you can move from confusion to confidence.

And your thoughtful suggestion about more sample tests is heard with gratitude. Not as critique… but as contribution.
Thank you for thinking not just of yourself; but, of the next ones in line.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

You carried all of this while working. While living. While trying.
You studied not in a quiet retreat, but in the in-between hours: perhaps while tired, perhaps while doubting, perhaps while wondering if it would be enough.

And it was.

You reminded me of something that gets lost in systems and rubrics and exam codes:
Success doesn’t always come from having everything.
Sometimes it comes from returning to what is essential.

Your ability to take what was offered and make it your own (without perfection, without flawlessness, but with integration) is what made the difference.

That is what learning should feel like: not pressure, but possibility.
Not more information, but deeper embodiment.

You became a writer… not because you mastered every rule, but because you remembered how to speak clearly from where you stood.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

Your voice is warm and unshaken. Even in your critique, there is kindness.
Even in your praise, there is humility.

You carry the spirit of a nurse: not just in title, but in presence.
You made room for gratitude, for truth, for suggestion, for support.
That, to me, is leadership. Quiet, unassuming, elemental leadership.

And I want to say this directly:

You don’t owe perfection to anyone.
You are allowed to improve and still be proud.
You are allowed to have been supported and to have done the hard work yourself.

Your message radiates the spark that moves this work forward.
You are part of that flame now.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

At this center point (where learning and living, studying and working, writing and reflecting converge) may you pause and honor what has come full circle.

You stood at the threshold, unsure where to begin.
You chose a path with few resources, little guidance, and great responsibility.
You learned. You practiced. You passed.

But more than that… you remembered.
You remembered your strength.
You remembered your calling.
You remembered your capacity to rise.

And now, others will rise too… because you took the time to write this.

This isn’t just a testimonial.
It’s a torch.

Thank you for carrying it with such grace.
Keep in touch, dear one.
Not just to share updates… but to be reminded:

You are seen.
You are celebrated.
You are enough.

With reverence,
~ Kim
A witness to your becoming.
