I've been through alot in this past year.
It is August again and I can't help but think of everything that has happened in this past year. Let's reflect shall we?
A year ago today I was a Pre-Med/Biology major at USF. A year ago I was single. A year ago I had so many different friends that I would call family. A year ago my grandfather was healthy.
Now, I am a Pre-Nursing student at USF. Now, I have the most amazing man in my life that I hope to spend the rest of my life with. Now, those friends I can count on one hand. Now, my grandfather is an angel in heaven.
Within a year so much has changed. Some of it was unwanted change and other things have made me happier than I have ever been in 4 years of college. I miss my grandfather terribly. At times it catches up with me and hits me like a MACK truck and I just think about him and I hope that I make him proud.
I love being a nursing major. I feel now that being a nurse is my path. The stress and heartache I felt all the time when I was thinking about Medical school is gone and I feel like a burden is lifted. Don't get me wrong, the classes are just as hard and the path I will take will be just as hard as being in medical school but it doesn't seem like the chore it used to be.
I am truly blessed with an amazing man in my life who has brought me so much joy and happiness. His family has become like a second family to me. His sister had a baby and I love him as if he were my flesh and blood. I worry for that little baby who is growing up without a father (his father passed away at 19 in a car accident a week before his son was born) and who is going through so much from being born early and having some issues with his digestive system. I worry for his mom who is only 17, just a baby herself, and has a 3 month old to take care of on top of losing the love of her life. But i love them both. More than words could ever explain.
I hope that this blog helps to let out emotions that I cannot let out anywhere else
