I didn't tell my reasons because I'm afraid that despite all of my reasons for feeling like this is the path I'm being called to be on that I'm not smart enough for it. The other option I'm considering is enlisting into the military, because of the same reason I am considering nursing. I have this instinct to help and protect and save. This obviously isn't something that I just woke up one day and decided I wanted to try out, I feel it's something that I should do.

Hello! My name is Cayla and I am considering becoming a nurse but I have some fears and some doubts. First things first, I do not qualify for financial aid do to being a dumb college freshman so I'm really not sure how I am going to pay for this. I left home for school and with my freedom slacked in my classes, but it ended up being a motivator for me because I know now when I go back I will not put anything before my schooling again. Once I figure out how to pay for school, I'm not sure what to do from there because I'm not going to lie, I've always done poorly in math. I mean, in high school I failed Algebra I and once I passed I then failed Algebra II. It really doesn't click with me. Granted in high school I didn't apply myself to my math classes, but I don't understand it. I really, really want to be a nurse so badly but I am afraid to find a way to pay for school and not be able to pass the math, therefore forcing me to work my minimum wage job for the rest of my life. I think I could be a great nurse once I learn all the things I need to, I'm just not sure if I am smart enough to do it. Plus, I have never had any classes to prepare me for a nursing career because my high school back in my hometown did not have one. I would be starting from the bottom. Please give me any advice you can!
