Then and Now... (POST #1)

When I reflect on where I was two years ago and where I am today, I feel very grateful and blessed. I feel like I was given a second chance to achieve my goal at becoming a nurse. Coming to Northwest was the best thing that happened to me. The environment is very different then that of the University of Washington where I had previously gone. Here I feel like my study habits have improved and that I actually enjoy school. Nursing has always been a passion of mine ever since I was a little child. I grew up around nursing as both my parents are nurses as well as many of my aunts and uncles. Although only three weeks of school have gone by, I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have learned so much and look forward to my journey becoming a nurse.
