GS1145 Change Wheel Reflection
When battling to succeed where success seems impossible, the fight can get pretty discouraging. Being a 19-year old African American female raised in a single-parent home, many statics put me in a category for a high possibility of having a child or contracting AIDS/HIV. I have always strived for excellence and perfection, but significant life changes can alter everything. And every problem doesn’t have to have a bad ending.
Some negative events have positive outcomes, although, initially, they may be perceived negatively. Dropping out of college was a huge change in my life, because I always thought I knew exactly what career I would enjoy doing for the rest of my life. In the end, I soon learned that I wasn’t what I thought it would be, resulting in me returning home. Soon after becoming discouraged, my mother discovered ITT-Tech Breckinridge’s RN Program. And after doing my own research about nursing and it diverse career opportunities, I decided on what career I would enjoy pursuing. So, although, in the beginning, dropping out of college may not have seemed like the right decision, it had a positive effect on my life. I received 20 transferrable college credits and received some knowledge that will be very useful in my future nursing courses. I feel well prepared for school after learning the importance of education and studying while in college. I was exposed to a plethora of learning resources, and became very computer/technology-savvy. There is something new to learn in every aspect of technology, and I expect to become very knowledgeable after taking this course. It may be difficult memorizing every technique, but it will be a great experience.
