So this quarter of school was insane. With my husband working two jobs and me trying to work and go to school with three kids, it’s been much more stressful than I ever imagined. My husband recently got his bachelor’s and was a huge inspiration making me feel like I could really do this. I’m learning that there is a huge difference here. First of all, all he had to do was go to school. I’m going to school and still primarily responsible for our three kids, housekeeping and cooking. He does what he can to help but working two jobs, he can’t do much besides sleep when he can. I’m just going to try to stay positive and keep chipping away at it. One or two classes a quarter while and before I know it, my prerequisites will be done.
My dream is to be an ER nurse and then become a nurse practitioner. I want to serve my community by caring for the sick and inspiring people to take better care of themselves. I’ve thought about quitting school to work full-time so that my husband could work just one job but I refuse to quit. I may work more hours, but not full-time. I know that if I just do a little at a time, I will get there.
