I have always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. Helping others has always been one of my core characteristics, and it brings me joy to know I could be even just a small part of someone’s healing journey. My hope is to make a positive impact on every patient I meet, even if it’s just for a short time together.

My nursing school journey began in October 2023, just a few months after I passed my GED test. I dove right into prerequisites like Anatomy & Physiology and dosage calculations, determined to make my dream a reality. It hasn’t been easy, especially as a mom to five amazing kids—ages 14, 9, 6, 5, and 3. They are my biggest motivation. I want to show them that no matter what life throws at you, it’s possible to keep moving forward and never stop chasing your dreams.

Now, I’m facing my final hurdle: the tuition for my last trimester. If I can reach this goal, it will lift a huge burden and allow me to finish my program and become the nurse I’ve always wanted to be. Your support means the world to me and my family. Thank you for believing in me and helping me take this last step toward a brighter future.
