I had the final test in my basic massage course, today. We drew pieces of paper to randomly be paired with instructors on whom we would be testing our massage skills. I was placed with the owner/head of the school. She's known for being the most critical and difficult to please of all the instructors. So, I gave her a massage and she corrected me maybe twice. I thought I was doing horrible. I thought maybe she'd given up on correcting me because I was hopeless or something. Well, after the massage, she had to fill out a critique form on my work.
I ended up with 94% and a comment on the sheet telling me that I am "born to do this." She proceeded to tap me on the head while saying, "Some people are touched before birth to be able to do this and you're one of them."
