I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started school and I knew it was going to be tough and alot of hard work, but I never imagined it would be as tough as it was. It was 4 months of limit testing, being thrown out of my comfort zone, and having to put my whole being into it and still not being something I could do on my own. This semester was a success purely By the Grace of God!!! I survived and I made it. I studied, ate, slept, went to classes, lab, and clinicals and lived and breathed school and I did it. I didn't get the A's that I was working for but I did make one A. I got B's in all the other courses and if I hadn't been studying and trying for all A's so there is no telling what would have happened. I can't think about that. I have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and not give up.

It is now Christmas time and I am looking forward to it. I get a short break. I do have homework for break but that is ok. I can do it. I get to relax and rest. I get to breath without the stress of knowing I gotta be on top of it all.

My advice is this. If you really want to be a nurse and you have the support and ability to make the commitment to put everything into it, go for it!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!

I have to say this and that is Matt is my biggest support. He took over everything at home and helping Clay. It was a difficult transition for us all and will be again but we are succeeding and our family is staying strong. My family is awesome!!!
