A letter from December 23rd, 2017

Dear Future Me, Today is December 18, 2017, the day before your last final (Introduction to Law). It has been a rough two years. Nursing school is tough and challenged you in all ways possible. However, know that you will succeed one day. You do not need the highest GPA. You do not need to care about what people think about you. You can do anything you set your mind to. Your family may not be the best and certainly not perfect, but you have great friends who support you at your toughest times. There are professors and other people who have faith in your abilities. Right now you are questioning whether nursing is right for you (mainly because of Childbearing Course). However, just let things go. Stop worrying so much. Whatever comes will come. There is only so much you can control in life. Just try your best. If you are meant to be in nursing then everything will work out in the end. When you look back, remember it is all in the past. It is a bump (although a big one) in your journey to becoming who you are now. You can push past all those barriers. Be you. Love, The 21-year-old you
