TRANSCRIPT

When I think of what I am literate in, of course I think about reading and writing. However, I did not think about being literate in something that I have a passion for. Now when I think of what I am literate in, I think of CNA work. I had an idea of what I wanted to do with my life around my sophomore year in high school. Every time that I tell someone about knowing so early they are shocked. However, it was not set in stone that I wanted to become a nurse. It took the rest of my high school years and a lot of hard work to know for sure.I moved to North Carolina my sophomore year in high school. It was hard enough to get used to the new environment, much less figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My counselor was there for me from the beginning. She helped me get the classes that I needed to graduate on time. I remember sitting in her office on my first day at Southeast Guilford High School. She handed me a list of classes to pick from. She told me to take my time, but we both knew that would not be a problem. I didnt want to be there, so I just looked and picked a class. The class that I picked turned out to be the best decision I made. Health Science I, was the class that I picked. I had an idea of what it was about, but I still wasnt completely sure what I was getting myself into. However, I did hear great things about the teacher and the class. So, I went ahead and kept it on my schedule. I am so happy, today, that I did. Health Science I was not the hardest class I have ever taken. I found out that I was really good at doing health related work. Of course some of the things were difficult, but nothing was impossible to do. After this class I decided I wanted to continue taking the health related courses. Next, Health Science II.Going into Health Science II, again I had somewhat of an idea of what it was going to be like. This was the last step before the big leagues in health classes at my high school. I knew that I had to do the absolute best that I could. Everyone adored my teacher Mrs. Watkins. She was definitely a sponsor in my becoming literate in CNA work. She was the first one to push me to be my best and go through with this dream that I had to become a nurse.
