The first question I asked myself was, how are you going to be able to go back to school, being a single mom, with a mortgage payment, and having no other option but to work full-time? This was a hard question to wrap my head around at first, especially when all the negative thoughts about school are popping into my head. I realized the first thing I needed to do was take everything one step at a time so I could get all my “ducks in a row”. First, I needed to apply for college and financial aid. Who would have guessed that was the easy part? After getting accepted to SCTCC, my next step was, talking to a guidance counselor about my goals and what I wanted to accomplish at SCTCC. After producing a plan of attack on how to accomplish my goal, I then needed to sign up for classes. Of course, when I was signing up for classes I needed to ensure going back to school was not going to affect my full-time work schedule. I was able to work out a full-time work schedule with my boss while committing to a full-time school schedule. This was overwhelming, but with positive attitude and support, I could accomplish the goal. Furthermore, the one thing I was worried about the most was the fact that I was not going to be able to spend as much time with my daughter, who needs me. Thankfully, my mom and dad were willing to come and stay with my daughter and I while I was going to school during the day and work during the evenings. After attending school for a couple of months, everything seemed to fall into place and all my schedules seemed to be working well together. Don’t get me wrong, this was extremely stressful, and I was extremely lucky if I would get four and a half hours of sleep a

When the word teen parent comes to mind, you’ll hear others criticize about becoming pregnant at a young age will ruin our lives by not being able to do activities as a regular teenager, travel and discover the world without any kids, and especially being able to attend college. Well I’m here to prove them wrong, as well to show others that a teen parent can attend college and be a parent at the same time. The challenges I faced this past year in college is, not taking many classes as I wanted too, on top of that not being able to afford the classes due to having bills to pay, feeding and providing the essentials for my children, and also finding the time to study for exams and turn in papers/assignments before the deadline. At times I would like to give up, but I think about the light at the end of the tunnel coming near and seeing the accomplishments and obstacles I’ve overcame to get where I will be as a graduated college student and a teen parent. I am currently attending Tarrant County College finishing my associate of arts degree, and will be attending Parker University in fall 2017 in pursuing a degree in Radiology Technician.
I am writing this letter to explain the circumstances of my withdrawal from Galen College of Nursing in 2013, and to ask for readmission so I can complete the LPN to ADN Bridge program at Galen.

At first being laid off was not all bad because it allowed for plenty of time to study, however it became a financial hard shift especially when my grandmother 's Alzheimer starting progressing at a rapid rate, and I had to pay someone to stay with her while I was away. So I went back to work at the start of the Advanced Concept of Medical/Surgical course.

As clinical rotations began, what was once considered a mere opportunity evolved into a true passion for caring as I truly love and enjoy nursing and helping people.
