Not Giving Up On My Dreams

When I started going to college a few years ago I thought I wanted to be in social work because I had the strong desire to help others. As time progressed and things changed in my life, I changed my major to nursing and starting working on my pre-reqs but this last semester - ugh, brutal for me.

I decided at that point I was going to just change my major to Information Systems specializing in Healthcare but God has a way of showing you something different. 

When I started thinking about nursing I asked God to show me if this is what I was suppose to do and something happened:

One morning on my way to work, the lady I worked at the school with was in an accident. Not one I heard about but one I rolled up on before the police, ambulance or fire trucks ever arrived. I quickly parked my car, jumped out and one man said "Thank God, a Nurse"! That was my sign. 

That summer I took a CNA class and continued on my path but last semester I let life get in the way instead of focusing on school and to the point I just took the job I have because I needed the paycheck, not because it's something I'm actually interested in. In fact, I kind of hate what I do because I feel like I am getting people in further debt.

Saturday God used a lady from my A&P class, 2 semesters ago, to show me a way I could still become a nurse without hurting my family so today, I registered for classes to finish the things I need to do to become a nurse.
