So you may have noticed that I have been MIA the last two months. It is due to this new phenomenon in my life known as nursing school. My mom warned me about how hard it was going to be. I thought I was mentally prepared for what lied ahead, but looking back, I really had no clue. The weeks leading up to school I had a lot of sleepless nights, wondering how in the world I was going to keep everything together, but I knew this was what I had to do. Anything worth having in the end is definitely worth fighting for, and I remind myself of this statement everyday.
My favorite part of all of this is the ability to make someone feel better. Three days we're learning the how to's and then the last day of the week we're putting it into practice. Making a difference in someone's life makes all the stress worth while. As a mom I equate it to the sleepless nights we spend with our kids,when they finally feel better it was worth it to see them smile again.
Since starting in September one of the hardest things I've had to do is learning to balance the mounds of studying that falls in my lap each week with making sure my family. You know you've got to pass your exams each week, but you don't want your kids to forget who you are. What do you do? You quickly learn what's important and what's not. T.V. What's that? You also learn to use every minute of your day, reading in the car when I'm waiting for my daughter and basketball practice, or getting to school a little early.
One thing I keep telling myself is this isn't forever and it will be worth ever sacrifice in the end. Good night folks. It's time to go study.
