Nursing School...Here I Come!!

I still feel the need to pinch myself!  Is it really true?  Has this really happened to me?  Am I out of my mind?!!  I think the answer to all of those questions is an adament, but enthusiastic "YES!"  During my 7th period class on Tuesday, March 19th, I was checking my email right before school was dismissed.  Waiting on a reply to an email I had send the day before, another email caught my eye.  I did not recognize the sender, but the subject line said something about "acceptance".  I opened the email out of curiosity and almost fell out of my chair!

The email congratulated me for being accepted for admission to the School of Nursing at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston!  I wasn't sure if it could be a hoax because it just couldn't be true.  But it IS true!  Tonight I accepted my offer of admission, and I am so excited to be starting nursing school this August.  It all still seems surreal, but I know this is the path I am meant to travel.

I will teach until the end of the year, and as of June 7th, I will end my 7th year of teaching to pursue a new career.  This blog will definitely be a wonderful outlet for me when I need to just talk about the craziness soon to come.  I scared, nervous, and so excited about this new adventure.  Thankfully, I will have my friend, Shannon, close by and my family in southeast Texas will be closer.  I am incredibly blessed, and God answered the prayers friends and I prayed to make this happen.

So, off I go!  It will be weird ending the school year in a blank, bare room, but I know my new "room" will be full of family, friends, and faith!
