Entering the Medical World

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!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

New Postings Coming

Dear Followers, I apologize for not writing on the happenings in the last few months! Many new opportunities, many ups and downs, but through it all - there is so much to learn, and hopefully in the process He's making us into stronger people, becoming more and more like Him! December was filled with lots of different Christmas happenings, get together's, music opportunities, visitations, baking, eating of yummy food, and spending time with family!  I maybe took 3 or 4 pictures - not much to show, but will be bringing more pictures of the upcoming months!  New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w...

New York City

This past April Wilma was doing a Prospective Student Day in Philadelphia, so we took our time getting there and did some really neat walks!   Glen Watkins - St. Park They were grooming the trails at this state park so we weren't able to walk around here, but went a bit East to another state park where we walked for 14km and saw a ton of falls and enjoyed the beautiful spring air! One of my favorite falls - reminded me of a cupcake!  To get a great picture we had to cross this chilly creek  View from the top  We spent the night in the suburbs of Philadelphia in gorgeous German Town where we enjoyed a very unique hotel and a walk down the cobblestone roads! I wish we could have spent more time there!  This is us the next morning before class started  Wilma was checking this school out prospectively for her Masters in Counselling - was a beautiful facilities and all the staff was very accommodating! ...
