THE FINISH LINE

This is week thirteen in nursing school and I can't believe how fast time is passing by. There is only three weeks left until summer; I can see the finish line. I want to reflect on my semester and how I want to finish off the next couple of weeks. Being in nursing school is something I never saw in the cards for me. Being here is a blessing in itself. Transitioning I believe was the hardest part for me. In the beginning I was truly struggling with how to balance my time. I couldn't determine how much time I needed to study for the test. Giving up my social life was difficult at first, but then I gained so many new friends that were struggling with me. There have been so many difficult parts in nursing school, however some way God brings me through it.
In nursing school you are constantly comparing yourself to your peers, if they are doing better and how you should be. I realized that we aren't here to compete, but rather to help each other achieve. I have seen the progression I have made in the semester with: better studying skills, working less, and devoting my "free time" to reading more in depth. I want to keep improving, I want to succeed. Of course I am constantly worried if I won't pass, because I can't imagine losing something so great that has happened to me. This constant worrying I hope will motivate me to keep working hard and improving. Seeing the finish line of this semester is astonishing to me. Where did the time go? I have had the greatest opportunity being surrounded by wonderful faculty and my cohort. I am overflowing with blessings and struggle, I know God placed me here for a reason.
The next three weeks I want to strive to complete all the tasks put before me, efficiently and with the best of my ability. I know it is going to be stressful, but I know if I just dedicate my all then I will be satisfied knowing I tried my best. I love my cohort and my wonderful faculty members for their support. I hope I can return the favor and give them the best support I can.

THANK YOU GOD FOR CONSTANTLY BEING SO GRACIOUS TO ME
