What does that mean? Good question. I actually am still not sure what it means but I got it at the end of Mack's class last night. Here's what I think it means: I finished a majority of Mack's class without quitting and I kept a good attitude throughout. I've done the "without quitting" thing before....I think it was the "good attitude" portion that threw me over the top this time. The practical effect is very small, however. I got a card and Mack signed his initials in one of the boxes. There are 10 boxes on the bottom and I'm guessing that something happens when I'm "certified" 10 times -- beyond my card being filled out (I can already see your smart-ass minds working on that one). The monumental thing was that I actually did keep a good attitude during the class and didn't groan or sigh heavily when he asked me to do something extra...I just did it. Mack also told the entire class that he's been really hard on me (wha?!?) and that he was very proud to see how much I've improved physically and how much more positive I've become. He told them that it was entirely my doing and that I've worked very hard to achieve those goals. Pretty cool. Yes....I've worked very hard and it's not over yet.... I know I'm trying not to let him affect me one way or the other but that was pretty awesome and I felt really good. Of course, my fellow class mates were very supportive and happy for me (that's how that class works).
Also, the "certification" card has a picture of a train and the words "night train" on it. I have no idea what that means....
