This is how you lose her. You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely. You must remember when she forgets. You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention. She remembers when you forget. You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good. You must learn her. You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to. You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. And, this is how you keep her

I'm not livin that crazy college life,

but I feel beyond bless to be accepted to a nursing program at the local community college. I think only nursing students know what it feels like to fight for a spot in the program. It a lottery out of hundreds or thousands of people. Who knew why they picked me, but I'm not complaining. I can't believe it. I was told emails were going out today and I could not let go of my phone even at work. And when I saw the word Congratulations, I had to reread the email a thousand times before I processed what I just got. I was preparing my heart so I wouldn't be so hurt to get declined. But this is seriously the greatest blessing. After having to sacrifice the life at SDSU and having to be practical with my life situation, I get to save money and be in a program. I am so thankful so so very thankful to my family and friends who kept me going even if I struggled with my future and what I was going to do. God is so good. I almost wanted to believe nursing wasnt for me if I didnt get into the program. But so blessed that He believe I can do this and that this is His plan for me. I know how hard its gonna be the next two year but I wouldn't have any other way.

There are so many times that I just want to give up nursing. It's just an impacted major and I feel like i will never make it in a program. It breaks my heart that this is reality and this is my dream but I keep praying to God that this is what He wants me to do in this world as much as i want this to be my career and future. This program application process is one hell of a ride with about 5 steps to get through and a lottery. I don't know how far I'll get but I hope its to the end. 

When I feel like giving up and asking myself if this is even what I want anymore, I remember the people who believe I can do this. There are only a handful of people that lift me up when I am truly down.

Jaden was one of my top motivation. When he was born and I became his ninang, I wanted to have a career that allowed me not only to spoil him but to be able to afford to take him out and not struggle. I want to take him to so many places and spend quality time with him.

Another is my momma, she has worked damn hard for me and her to survive the last few years. I want to make money so she doesn't have to struggle as hard to pay the bills or even stress about not having enough money to pay the bills month to month.

Today, Aaron messaged me telling me that when he came back from Japan that he wanted a picture with me and my uniform as a nurse when I became one, since I have so many pictures with him in his marine uniform. Which made me tear up knowing that I want this picture just as much as he does. 

Jailynne, my roommate and one of my best friends, been there from day one at Rio Norte. We dont know when the next step is in our lives but we do know we have each other when it happens. And a quote weve said for the longest time and im thankful she brought it up is "God never takes away anything away from us, if it wasnt in our best interest." thankful i can have her by my side even with distance between us.

Ej is definitely one of those who pushes me and motivate me to pursue this career. If its God's will for us to have a future together, I want to have a future with him and to be able to support not only myself but a family one day. 

And of course there's me. Being a nurse has been my dream for the longest time now. I've always put others before myself and I was always was one to take care of people. I like being there to help someone feel better. There are people who truly motivate me and keep pushing me to reach my goal, but ultimately a huge part of this is doing it for myself. I want to prove to myself that I can overcome this challenging career and that I can truly make my dreams and future come true. Its not only about the money but to help others and people I dont even know and to take care of them is what makes my heart happy. 

Coming from SDSU and knowing I wouldnt make it to their program and coming back home to a whole different college lifestyle in hopes of getting into a community college program has been hard.  But I am still hopeful that one day I will be registered nurse. 

Im just truly blessed and thankful for all family and friends who have seriously supported me through this journey.

“My father used to do this with me when I was a baby. People always looked really anxious and asked him what he was doing. He would simply reply, ‘I’m teaching her to trust me.’”

“Of course, everybody makes mistakes, and we’ve all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect, particularly in this business, because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that. Me, I’d prefer to have a good reputation rather than getting press for being scandalous, getting drunk in public, staying out late and so on.” ― Sophia Bush
