Nursing School Application
Today I submitted my application to nursing school!!! It took me months to gather all I needed to submit an application that I know could compete with other people’s whose dreams are just like mine and include becoming a nurse.
I know that God has a calling for my life. I also know that what I think I want for my life, may not be what God has planned for my life. I know that if I don’t get accepted that I will be heartbroken. I also know that my biggest desire is to continue to trust God and the path He is taking me down despite the outcome of my nursing application. I write this as my promise to God that I will not be anger at him and as a reminder that I don’t want to go if He’s not going before me.

Lake House University
The world has slowly began to spin again following the COVID-19 pandemic. I eventually was able to move back to San Angelo and resume my college experience, though it looked very different this time around. This fall semester, I am staying in my big, Halley’s, lake house. I am excited to finally be in a home with my own room and an actual kitchen where I can make meals that don’t include a microwave. We will also have one other roommate who I am excited to get to know and build a friendship with.
Although I am back in Angelo for college, things at ASU are still different compared to previous semesters. Majority of classes are still online with the exception of a few being hybrid courses. Another new thing in life is my job. I recently accepted a part time position at Foot Locker so that I could stay busy and help out financially while not physically attending classes. I am excited for my first official job and to make new friends through it. This semester I am taking microbiology, pathophysiology, nutrition, into to dramatic art, and public speaking, all of which will be online courses. Pathophysiology and microbiology are two courses which will begin to give me an insight into what nursing school courses will be like, if I happen to get in. I have heard that both of these courses, especially pathophysiology are pretty tough and require a lot of time and studying. I need to make at least a C in these courses to be considered for nursing school acceptance. With that being said, I am excited to be back in Angelo, working, and taking courses that will get me one step closer to nursing school.

An Easter Sunday

Today was celebrate an empty tomb. HE IS RISEN. Although we are able to celebrate the true reason of Easter Sunday from our homes and within our own famailies, today we are longing for human interaction more than ever. Gatherings of less than 6 people are strongly encouraged on a day where entire families are known to come together for the biggest hunt of the year.

An Empty Room
27 March 2020
Today I have officially moved out of my dorm room, marking the very last time I will be a resident of Texan Hall. Although I am writing this way earlier than I would’ve ever thought, I understand that it is in my best interest to move back home where I will be able to live much safer under the same roof as my parents.

The Transition.
20 March 2020
The remainder of my spring semester at Angelo State has offically been moved to online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
I have very mixed emotions about transition to online classes. I am in the middle of taking classes that I feel are not even possible to be successful in if moved entirely online. What will happen? When will I be able to return to my dorm? How long will I be home? When will this all begin to slow down?

COVID-19 OUTBREAK
10 March 2020
It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting in Starbucks with a few friends talking about the Coronavirus and how it was affecting China. The thought our country ever being that infected with a disease was scary and seemed as if something like that could never occur in the United States, but it did. By this point the US had already declared the coronavirus as a public health emergency becuase of it’s ability to be transferred person-to-person. The US has surpassed 100 cases.

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
26 January 2020
Since I have been in San Angelo, I have searched long and hard for a church that I could call my home away from home. I love the church I attend back home so much that it felt almost impossible to find an organization that would even come close to it. After asking around, I finally came across Celebration Church. It sounded the most similar to Cowboy Junction back home so I decided to go ahead and give it a try.
Giving this church a try has been one of the best decisions I have made so far this year. It is so similar to Cowboy Junction and I truly loved it. The pastor and his family are super nice and I knew I was in the right place when I began to cry during worship. I am so thankful that God led me to this church and I can’t wait to be a weekly attender. A friend also came with me today. She may think that worship moved her, but little does she know, her reaction moved me more. Being able to reintroduce this friend to my usual church environment and seeing the affect it had on her, has by far been one of the most beautiful sights I have witnessed. God is truly so good and I can’t wait to watch her continue to grow in his worthiness.

Spring Semester as a Pre-Nursing Major
10 January 2020
I am officially 3 days away from starting my 2nd semester of college and my 1st semester as a Pre-nursing major. As most people know, getting into Nursing school is a challenge. It is a challenge that I am willing to endure to achieve who I want to be as a person and what I want to do as a profession. The grades of your pre-requisites have to be a direct reflection of your hardwork and dedication. I know, going into this semester, that it will be the most challenging one YET with a tremendous amount of pressure. I am enrolled in Chemistry, BIO Anatomy, Developmental Psychology and Statistics and I am ready to fully give up my life to achieve a goal that means far more than just a secure job to me.

NEW YEAR 2020
01 January 2020
HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!!
2019 has been so many different things for me. I have experienced the most happiness, sadness, confusion and change all in one year. It was truly a whirlwind of emotions. There are so many things I could’ve done better and so much hurt I could’ve avoided, but in times like these I remember that I am put in specific hardships for a reason. 2019 has truly made me who I am. I lost myself and found myself and have never felt so sure about what I wanted in my life. This is my chance to be grateful for the situations that have made me stronger, acknowldge my emotions, and leave them behind me. I refuse to not let 2020 be the greatest year yet and I am determined to keep my desire to strengthen my soul and my person as a whole in 2020!!

I Changed My Major?!
05 November 2019
I haven’t even finished my first semester of college and I have already changed my major! I started out as a Health Science Professions major and as of today, am now a Nursing major! It wasn’t a HUGE change, but the majority of my science classes I took this semester will no longer be counted towards my degree because they are not needed for nursing.
I changed my major because I felt like that was where I belonged and where I should’ve started from the beginning. I have always known that I wanted to be in the health science area, but I allowed people’s heavy opinions affect my decision. I continuously would get the “shocked” look when I mentioned the possibility of being a nursing major. People would constantly tell me about how hard it was and how much time and dedication it took to get into nursing school, not to mention, finish it. As mentioned, I allowed these opinions to affect my decision and decided to major in Health Sciences where I was planning to pursue Physical Therapy. Although, I knew my heart was with nursing, I was still super excited for the physical therapy route. I had a special connection with this occupation because I have been to PT myself in regards to a sports injury. I would love to do PT and help others gain their lives back just as I was helped in doing so, but I know that caring for people and more specifically, kids, is where my entire heart is at. I’m super excited to come back next semester and start working towards getting into nursing school!

I’m failing a class?? | School Update
09 October 2019
It’s true. I am indeed, failing a class. Even worse, that class...is Intro to Art.
That’s it. That’s the blog post.
Only kidding, but seriously, I’m failing art. :( Who would’ve thought?? I am completely baffled at the level of difficulty of this class. (Also, just to make myself feel a little better about this, I am not the only one failing) I thought I would be drawing stick figures and stating what color I would get if I were to mix red and blue. (btw..it’s purple). Turns out, the class is NOTHING like what I had expected and I am now crying at the fact that art history even exists...
