Whoever made the comment "Baby Steps" couldn't have been more right. It is the little steps towards a goal that add up over time. Last year at this time I was in a very low place in my life. I didn't get through my first semester of nursing school. I hated the feeling of not accomplishing what I had set out to achieve. It bothered me that I had let me family down, let myself down. This year, my outlook is a little different. I started over and have a greater appreciation for what needs to be done. I did so much out of fear last year. I am going about things in a manner that is more conducive to success. I know how I learn and I just need to stick to my routine. I never thought it was possible but you can study too much. I think I studied myself to stupid (yes, it happens) and didn't take care of myself.
So here I am. One semester (3 classes) down and moving onto spring term. Four more semesters to go. I am proud of myself, I can back, started fresh, and am making it. This is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Having kids, a house to take care of, and everything else that does into being a wife and mother makes things harder on me. I know that all of the hard work and sacrifices will be worth it.....then my dream will become a reality and I can finally place RN after my name.
