| I am 21 years old, on the verge of turning 22. I still am in college trying to make something of my self. I work in a nursing home a Certified Medication Aid. I like my job and the people I work with I just want to be able to do more in my job. My goal in life is to be a Registered Nurse. I get joy and satisfaction from helping people. I makes me feel like a better person. Like i really did something good. I started college right out of high school like a lot of high school kids do. Sometime i don't think that is always the smartest thing unless you really know what you want or you had a lot of schlorships. I for one didn't have any. I just wanted a reason to get out of town. I didn't know what i wanted or wanted to do with my life. I just wanted the college experience. Well I got my experience and also 7,000 in debt. I did good I also did a lot of drinking. I learned my lesson I stay away from alcohol. I try to anyways. Everyonce in a while i will have some drinks. I will never do the binge drinking thing again. Anyways me binge drinking and going into debt I later realized wasn't the smartest thing I am glad I noticed that before I got to far in debt. After my first year, i moved out of state to work at a seasonal job in Wyoming. I had a lot of fun there, I also learned a lot there. Mainly because I had everything taken away that I was use to having. I had no cell phone car, or internet access. I thought I was lost. I had to make my own money and spend it wisely, didn't have my mommie up there to tell me right from wrong. After being there for 3months I became home sick, then it was finally time to come home. Came back home, enrolled at the local Vo-tech and took some Health Care Career Classes. I really enjoyed what I learned then realized i wanted to Work in the Nursing field. Now I am going back to college and trying to get where I am going seems like it is taking forever. I need to go. I will write more later. |
Will I ever get to where I am going
