"To me, a challenge is an opportunity to do something better, and my work is filled with challenges. Just "getting by" isn't my way. Obtaining the highest level of licensure possible and professional certifications means I've put in the dedication necessary to meet the tougher requirements that such licensure and credentialing requires. While this isn't necessary, it is something I feel strongly about, out of my committment to my profession and out of my responsibility to my clients."
