I am also a full time student at MCC, maintaining a 3.8 GPA. I am working towards becoming a nurse, which is why I am applying for this fingerprint clearance card. Being a nurse has been my dream since I was 15 years old. My life has changed completely and I have not been involved in other criminal activities since I have been clean. Thank you for taking the time
