“When I graduated high school I got married 3 months later, not realizing it at the time, I was just trying to escape life with my mom who drove me crazy. Now I’m divorced, have come to terms with my mom and just finished nursing school. I’m thinking about going into pediatrics. I think it will appeal to my need to help young people. Nursing school was challenging but I’m looking forward to applying all that I learned and becoming a true asset to my community. I have been through so much, I hope I can help people everywhere I can.”
