15 Years after H.S. Graduation

Published

I'm posting this on its own thread because I really want everyone keep your hope and dreams alive! I really hope that none of you give up. Even if you get denied several times or have to wait several years, keep trying and your time will come.

(As most of you know, I was denied for Spring '06, but retook my Algebra class and reapplied.)

The letters came today!!!!!!

Come June 1st, it will have been fifteen years since I graduated from high school. I went straight into college in pursuit of my nursing degree, but never got to the point of applying.

15 years after I graduated from high school, I finally have an acceptance letter into the nursing program!

I will start at North Lake College in the Fall '06 program! :balloons: :balloons:

Please, no one give up!!!!!!

Thanks to all of you for your support!!!!!!!!![/bANANA]

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!! You are a very nice person and your going to be a great nurse!!!!!!!!!!!COngrats:balloons:

I've been keeping up with your posts & visited your home page...CONGRATS TO YOU !!!! I know how the waiting feels, I waited 21 years for my chance at nursing school. I have one more semester to go & I can sit for boards. The point isn't so much how long it takes to get there, it's the fact that you have arrived! I wish you all the best!

Congrats and great job sticking with it.

I will be starting the program 22 years after graduating high school. I feel I am a much better student now then I ever was.

Good luck
