Anxiety is pulsing through my veins with worry of the next four months and future uncertainties. Entering high school i had a whole different outlook on life. I questioned myself, my friends and my future. Over the past three years I've found myself in places i thought I'd never look. As a junior in high school i was able to attend WTC to earn a certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Originally i had viewed the opportunity as a stepping stone to possible career choices although not long after being in a clinical setting had i realized that my so called stepping stone would be the foundation of my future. Recently I've just been accepted into the Nursing Success Program for the 2010-2011 school year at Viterbo University. As excited as i am to continue moving forward I'm just as nervous to grow up. Throughout my high school career the harsh truths of reality have found a slot to slip on into my life. At the age of 17 i had already known two kids younger then i who have passed on and seen many of acquaintances in orange jump suites. The harsh truths of reality scare me. Time scares me. Yet, i realize i need to not let fear drive my life.
