 _____________________________________________________________________________

Joan tucked a piece of hair back behind her ear and got to work.  Female. American citizen.  East Asian.  Level of education . . .

 

She had filled out so many bubble sheets in her life, all pertaining to education.  The SATs.  The study guides for the SATs.  All those undergrad exams where the lecture hall capacity sat at 200.  The MCAT.  All the practice tests for the MCATs.  All the medical school exams.  All the study guides for the medical boards.  The medical boards.

 

All those practice tests for a licensure renewal exam that, in the end, she chose not to take.  

 

And now, licensure to become a private investigator. 

 

Joan took a deep breath and darkened the circle next to “post-graduate studies, completed.”
