Prayer and patience

A little prayer and patience is what I needed. Only god knows how many times I rushed to wanting to become a nurse that all the obsticles came in my direction. I went through so much within these years of trying to find myself and who I wanted to be in these colleges (yes plural) going from one college to one university then going back to community colleges. God it was so much to take in. I suffered my first F's and tears from being suspended from the university, thinking that all that would never take me anywhere and that I should just quit before I make any more damage. I managed to watch my best friends graduate with degrees in their hands like why could it have not been me on that stage. I kept asking god why's that I never asked myself "why not?"

I was wrong. You see I rushed to get far but all that did was push me back. It put me situations where I would cry myself to sleep because I felt this was to hard and that all this work I am doing would amount to nothing in the end. But I didn't give up.I couldnt. I didn't end it all by taking the easy way out. I fought, I failed but I fought. And today marks the greatest day of all. THE DAY I GOT ACCEPTED.

Finally, I have been accepted into a nursing program that starts this august. I couldn't be any more happier than I am right now. The feeling is so surreal and I am still awaiting on someone to pinch so I can wake up from this beautiful dream.

The moral of this post was to help anyone who has felt as though they can't fight anymore , or that they are lost and feel that they wont make it. Please don't give up because all you need is alittle prayer and patience.

Love , Jamjams

    Sounds a lot like me! One obstacle after another, being in my 40's, suddenly single, with a home to pay for and four acres to maintain, decided my office jobs which thusfar had been our second income, would no longer provide me with a future. Went back to school and started on pre reqs, paying my own way, and almost lost my house a few times because tuition payments came before the mortgage. Got on the alternate list the first year. Got denied the second year, and started on co reqs then so I could stay enrolled, and finally, on the thrd attempt, I was accepted and start in the Fall. Never give up. I sure didn't.
