My brother and I stayed at my Grandpa’s house most of the time she was up there mostly only going home to sleep and get ready for school the next day, it was weird and confusing but my grandpa was good at getting our minds off of things and keeping our spirits up when he needed to. While my grandmother was in the hospital, my brother and I didn’t get to go see her, we were either too young to go in or my parents didn’t think we should see her that way, I can’t remember. When she finally came home, they said the disease was gone but she was still very sick. She looked completely different and she was very weak. They had started her on chemotherapy, and from what I understand
When I went to my first clinical, I took a deep breath and plunged right in. I was scared, but I knew that the only way to be a successful nurse was to be able to apply what I learned in class. I remember when I left that day that I had never felt so tired. This was the day I truly realized the amount of responsibilities nurses had. As a sophomore-nursing student, I was unable to administer medications this semester.
That semester, I ended up taking incompletes in all of my classes. My doctors and professors declared I was overwhelmed with catching up in my classes and the anxiety of it all consumed me. Little did I know that it would be a decade later before I would officially find out it was really systemic lupus erythematosus. My diagnosis came as I was entering what I considered the magical part of my life. I had married, had a beautiful daughter and was working my dream job and finally felt like I was walking in my purpose.

On August 5th, 2008, I knew I had just taken my first baby step towards recovery. It was time I stopped looking for the answers to life’s problems at the bottom of a bottle and took a chance on the life I’ve been given. As the hangover grew more intense, so did my desire to get my life back. I missed my family and the support that comes along with them.
Indicators: Going to the hospital a lot due to factures, burns and broken bones. The person may not want to be touched because they don’t trust you and are scared.

No, I did not take time out of my day to participate in a 5K run, nor did I dedicate a full day to helping the elderly at a retirement home, but I did make sure my knowledge and help was used to benefit my community. Cancer is a word learned usually at a pretty early age. The word “cancer” is unavoidable in a world where it is so common. It is a word no one prefers to use, a word that creates a dark connotation, yet it is heard of all the time. Growing up I knew of cancer and the fatal toll it paid on its victims, but never understood how brutal it was.
I understood the feeling of parents that had to live separate their children. Especially, their children were still little. I also had to live far my parents for 5 years when I moved to the big city to study. They really worried for me because I had to live alone there.

The only thing I did properly was saying goodbye, but that does not mean that her death hurt me less. I will never forget December 3th when my father called me during classes to inform me that Wanda had passed away. My
When I eventually transferred to public schools, the issues that everyone overlooked because they were not an obvious problem for me really came back to haunt me when I was assigned any sort of extensive writing assignment. I continued to take reading classes in public school. Fortunately, I managed to get through my English classes and graduate high school never expecting to have to write any sort of paper again. While I thought that to be true for the first two years out of high school, that proved to be a poor mindset to have. June
Not only do I focus on my average but I try to participate in extracurricular activities as well. When I first came into the school, I entered into the Desi club. That club was important to me because in our group we raised money for charity. It felt amazing to help people that are less fortunate than others. My fellow class mates and I created bake sales and other activities that raised around $600 for the poor.
