That is sad but true.. The funny thing is in my town. I am the minority and I am your average southern white female. You do not have to be hispanic or african american to be a minority and to understand that feeling anymore.The way I see it, no matter the color or ethnic background, everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time and we all bleed the same blood as everyone else.

I live in Alabama and attend a CC for LPN then RN in the northern part of the state. It seems the northern part of the state is so diverified compared to the southern part. As far as "where are you from", you will most definately hear that from people here but only because we are curious and find other cultures interesting. If you can adapt to the heat and curious southerners, you will love it if you are in the northern half of the state. As the poster above said, I do hear sweet home alabama in other states more.

Hey yes it is very competitive. I start LPN at NWSCC next month. I was alternate 35 for the ADN program. They have seen girls with extremely high GPA's not get in. They also only admit during the fall. Same with LPN. I have heard Calhoun is more competitive due to the fact it is one of the best CC adn programs in the Huntsville/Decatur area. GOOD LUCK!
