A Little Insight About My Career Goal

When I lived in California, I attended two schools. I attended two because one college didn't have the classes I needed towards my degree at the time which was Criminal Justice. Once I moved to Oregon, I had to switch career paths. I decided on Nursing because in High School I attended a Nurse Camp at North Bay Hospital. I toured the entire hospital to see what each division did. The one that got the most out of my attention was the NICU. There was a premature baby addicted to cocaine. The only way to get a baby off of addiction, sadly, is to feed it more of what it's addicted to. That completely broke my heart and ever since then, I've had an interest of working in the NICU. I've always adored children and I don't like seeing innocent children struggling.

With that said, I am now attending my third college here in Oregon. I am almost finished with my first semester here. This semester I took Math, Reading, and Human Sexuality (Psychology). I just finished my Human Sexuality class and received a B. Math and Reading are pass/no pass classes. I have officially earned my first 3.0 GPA in college. I am extremely proud of myself. I think with moving to a whole new state where I know absolutely nobody except my boyfriend and his family, has made me focus in school a lot harder than I did in California. In California, I didn't take school seriously and failed a majority of my classes. I would always choose friends over school. I am so glad I took a turn in life and now have my head on straight. Especially where it matters the most. 

Right now, I am interested in transferring to Utah State University for their Medical Assisting and Nursing program. However, it's not set in stone and won't be until all of my prerequisites and general education courses are completed. So, I still have lots of time to think of other colleges that may spark my interest. I won't be eligible to transfer until Fall of 2014, which is my goal. I've vacationed in Salt Lake City and Park City. Both cities are absolutely breathtaking. I am excited to know that I could potentially be living in Logan, Utah to pursue my career goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.

I will continue to update you as I succeed in school. I will also post some things about interests I do outside of school.
