Yesterday was a big day. I successfully passed through the third gauntlet of entering the Foreign Service. The Oral Assessment behind me, I move forward into the security clearance phase. It was a brutal day of intense professional exercises – something I studied for months to prepare for. I was very impressed by my fellow test takers and wish them all the best in their future endeavors – and to my fellow passers I wish speedy clearances and god speed. I’m so excited to be one step closer to being a part of a professional community of diverse Americans united by our belief in the power of diplomacy.
