An opportunity of a life Time

A few days into my first stay in Costa Rica, I awoke to Julie the intern inviting some people on a quick medical trip. She mentioned that someone atop the hill at a place the locals call the 'high place' needed bandages changed due to a wound. As I walked the couple mile journey I begin to pray about where my future would be. Never had I ever thought of going into the medical field but the idea popped into my head that maybe going for my CNA license wouldn't be all that bad of an idea. I told myself, "If I can deal with this wound which from the sounds of it sounded pretty nasty by Julie's description then I would apply to the program.
Now almost a year later I can thank this trip for inspiring me to take this class. We are entering the last few weeks of clinicals and I am in love with this job. Every day brings something new. Each smile from my patient brings a smile to me as well. I find such joy in this program words can't explain it. Who knows where I will be going next in my life, but I can't thank God enough for giving me the opportunity to go where ever it is He leads me.

Hello again! Long time no talk?

Updating my blog often is not as habitual as I would like, however here I am given a quick catch up. On June 8th, 2014 I graduated from Poland Regional High school and let me just say it was quite a relief to finally be done these last four years. It was like that of a marathon, the last leg of the race that seemed to continue on forever. I'd been impatient with life for who knew where I was going, or where the heck I'd even end up. The last month of high school was one of the most challenging, but with a few close friends tightly by my side I made it through. "Don't wish away high school, when you're finished you'll want to go back. Experience it all." Advice I heard continuously from elders, much wiser for a reason. Yet as I finished my last real day of high school emotions ran high. Four years of ups and downs, highs and lows that seemed to feel like a r...

Washington vs. Whittier middle School

The girls were anxious to begin the trip, but now as the first night comes to a close it's widely known that everyone is exhausted. Red in the face (from the sun of course), grumpy by all mean and just plain tired. Getting accustomed to a new area is always difficult, but with the humid heat and little experience in the area, maps of all colors became our new best friend. Water bottles in hand, pins hanging from all the girls necks and the race was on. Here at NHD boys and girls all over the world find common ground very quickly when it comes first to their passion of history and second get as many new pins from as many new places as possible. Kids literally sigh when they realize the state you're from is already shown on their cord. The speaker was amazing; a former NHD contestant herself she knew the drills; from research to traveling tips. Ye...

John 15:5

Many people dislike the hype over new years resolutions often ranting that people should not wait until the last day of the year deciding on how and what to change about their lives. However, there is something viable and precious about making new goals towards a better year. How is anyone suppose to grow if they never look back and learn from their present failures and mishaps? Over the next few days I challenge those to reflect on their year, 2014- the good the bad and the ugly (only if you dare). John 15:5 states, "I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me, and I in him, he will bear much fruit: apart from me you can do anythi ng. “ Therefore with God the center and foundation of your resolutions they do have a chance of succeeding. So pray, seek answers and think back on what you have learned. 2015 brings in fresh life- so ponder the past but breath in the new. I wonder...
