Hello out there!

Family is everything to me.

I am in the most beautiful relationship of my life with a guy I met in Driver's Ed.

I love music. Just because something is mainstream, doesn't make it crap, either.

I used to be a lot quieter, but I'm learning to open my mouth a little more.

Since then I've managed to stop people from walking all over me.

I've been told I can really tell a good story.

I'm a Nurse's Aide. I absolutely love my job and it feels like I've inherited scads of grandparents and friends. One in particular named Dorothy, who has been at my nursing home for a long time and never gotten close to anyone. She was an only child, had no children of her own and her dearest friend is debilitated herself and lives miles away. I love her like a grandmother and I'm glad I can give her the love and attention she's been overlooked for so many years. She trusts me like noone else, and to see her smile when she sees my face astounds the people who have worked and seen her for a long time, one of the girls said, 'Look at her face light up every time you walk in the room. I've never seen that woman smile like that.' When she said that I almost cried, and it filled my heart with joy. She's honestly changed my life in so many ways, and I'm glad I could have done the same for her. Wouldn't mind being an aide for the rest of my life :)

Life's funny like that.
I want to go to college but I'm lost as to what for. I know I want to care for people but I can't bring myself to realize how. I think I want to be a geriatric nurse practitioner, I'll start at RN and work my way from there. But other times I feel like I've already found my calling. So maybe we'll see..

The uncertain wavering of my future terrifies me.


One day I want to look back at my life and be able to admit that I accomplished something and made the best I could for everyone.

I vowed to myself that even if, in my life, I can't change the world, I won't let it change me..

"Lord, please help me to bring

Comfort where there is pain
Courage where there is fear
Hope where there is despair
Acceptance when
the end is near

and

A touch gentle with
tenderness, patience,
and love."
