Like most students, I was sad when summer was over but I couldn’t wait for the new semester to begin. I’ve continued my nursing studies this fall semester and it has been so much different from last year! I have gotten used to being a college student and am open to experiencing more challenging things. And of course, classes are still getting harder like Med. Microbiology and Pathophysiology & Pharmacology. Even though classes are tough I do enjoy the subjects and listen to the lectures! I would often ask the professor if I didn’t understand anything and they would always assist me. In Patho & Pharm class we learned a lot about medication and it was fascinating to learn all the big terminology words. Aside from my studies, in my free time, I ran around to participate in art, theater, and dance. This year one of my best accomplishments is forming a K-pop/hip-hop dance club (K.D.C) with some friends. The process of making this club was much longer than I thought it would be. As the vice president of the club I never knew beginning a club would be difficult. But I love the challenges and I was extremely eager to see how it would turn out. I can’t wait to see how this club grows in the future. Also, this fall I was so happy to be part of the play “Alice in Wonderland!” I still couldn’t believe I got the lead role of Alice in this production! Overall this fall was a rollercoaster ride full of challenges and rewarding experiences. I feel like I have gained more independence. I am forever grateful to MVYouth and this community for the support they provide me. Without them, I wouldn’t be here today!
