My Life!!!

Life is funny.  If someone would have told me I would be going back to school and pursuing a career in Nursing two years ago I would have laughed in there face.  I went to college when I was eighteen, but like most kids my age.  Having too much freedom made me travel down a path I wish I could change.  I only last one year in school before leaving the college.  I always told myself I just wasn't smart enough to make it through school.  Really I just never applied myself and focused on what was important.  I thought parting and socializing with friends was more important.  In the back of my head I though oh I will find my future husband get married and I wouldn't have to worry about school.  Oh was I so wrong.

I now am so proud of myself I went back to school last fall.  After being out of school for fifteen years I scheduled my classes.  I took Anatomy and Physiology.  Now I did not have any help with my school schedule.  That is one thing I would tell OTC to change.  I think that as a new student coming in they should sit down with a counselor and plan there school schedule.  Fall was very hard for me to get back into the school routine.  I was scared and doubted myself.  One day I called my ex boyfriend and told him I couldn't do this and thought about quiting.  He than told me to stop crying about it and just do it.  He wasn't so nice about it but that is what I needed at that time.  I think I was listening to everyone else when I would tell them I was in A&P.  They would tell me that is how the weed out the stupid people.

So I stopped listening to everyone and focused on my school.  I have never been so happy before with my life.  I ended up with a B in the class.  Yes I really wanted an A but after talking to my counselor the second semester she was shocked that I made a B from being out of school for that long.  I look at things differently now.  I want A's in all my classes and want to do my best.  If I could have just applied myself back than like I am no.  Life is just so crazy sometimes.
