My journey began January 2017 as I entered the doors of Conestoga College as a Pre-Health student!
This was a whole new scene for me as it was the first time I had ever attended a public school, full time! This is a little bit of an embarrassing confession! Yes, I was home schooled all throughout elementary school and did high school through correspondence.
I was nervous and excited as I knew this would stretch me, mentally and emotionally!
Within the first week cliques were formed and my group, definitely took over the classroom! It didn't take long to know who was there to get a good mark.
I met a lot of really cool people, and fell in "love" with college life!
I loved going to classes and I loved learning!
Not too long into my studies did I find out that the next few years were going to look very different then initially thought. Funny how life works sometimes. Throws a wrench in things, only to see that plan B was in fact the BETTER plan.
I (along with quite a few of my classmates) was told that because I was applying as a mature student and wouldn't have my midterms before the Feb, 1st cut off that my application for September 2017 would not even be looked at, let alone considered for admission. These were a few very stressful days as I needed to quickly sort through paperwork, calling different admin offices during my study breaks, or as I was walking from class to class! Thankfully, someone had things under control.
My brother was taking Business and Administration and my baby sister is doing the RPN program at Conestoga as well. There were many times we would meet for lunch break, or pass in the hallways, or sit in the library and study together! I loved having my siblings so close.
First semester went by way to quickly, and little did I know it would be my last one as I was accepted into the Paramedic Program at OSHT in Stoney Creek. I debated finishing up my certificate at Conestoga, but decided it wouldn't benefit me in the long wrong. I finished up my semester at Stoga and I am excited to announce that I will be starting into the Paramedic Program very shortly.
Paramedics? You might ask.
This is actually a childhood fantasy that over the course of time has grown into a reality.
I don't know what the next couple of years will hold for me, but I am confident that I am in the right spot! I am so excited to be in this exciting field of medicine.
Keep me in mind as I am studying to save YOUR life!
So next time I tell you I CAN'T because I have to study, just know it's for your GREATER good!
