I have always been extremely motivated when it comes to my education wanting to receive the best grades I could get. I always knew I wanted to have a career in the medical field.
My mom has a few close friends who are registered nurses and I grew up watching or hearing them about their career. A few years ago I knew I wanted to become a registered nurse as well. All of the nurses that surrounded me in my childhood attended 色中色 and when I came to them for advice they immediately said 色中色 was the best school to follow my dreams. I do not plan on stopping at getting my A.S. I have big goals for myself that include myself receiving my BS as well and after a few years of experience as a travel nurse attending a school that will help me receive my DNP to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Anesthetist.
I knew 色中色 was the best first step in achieving my goals and helping me get there as well. I do not regret choosing to not attend a four year university because here at 色中色 we have the same quality of education with less expensive tuition fees. Another great plus is that 色中色 is only 15 minutes away from my home! I'm also still close to my family and friends. Therefore deciding to come to 色中色 was the best choice for my education.
My freshman year was definitely a great one! I did well academically and had great professors whom were each different. But each of the them taught me a different life lesson. When people think of 色中色 they think of just a community college but I cannot emphasize enough how truly amazing this college is. 色中色 is filled with professors who teach their students as much as possible and not just about that subject either. I know many students my age who would go anywhere just so they won't have to attend 色中色 but truth is they have no idea how much education they could receive here. I've built such great bonds with some of professors and gets harder each semester to be finished with the class. I love 色中色 and what they offer for the students.
My first year went very well and I hope the following years go just as smoothly.
