First Person

So Life is good I completed N100 a one day intro to nursing class. The most difficult part about it was actually getting all the way to campus and getting all the way back. The bus runs once an hour and I was waiting a whole 15mins early at the bus stop ( that bus driver must have had the pedal to the metal…no bus) I caught the bus that comes after the 1 I needed and had to get off to catch the right bus so long story short I got to campus 5 minutes before class was supposed to start( just in the nick of time…if I had got on the bus that was way ahead of schedule that wasn’t at the bus stop I would have gotten to campus a half an hour early)

The ride back home took 2hours (rush hour is ridiculous) I am looking into other options so that I won’t be stranded in the winter. All in All I feel prepared for school, I have my scrubs stethoscope, nursing shoes and books all I need is a fancy nurses watch and a pen light :0)
Class was good we did a review of the Home work that was assigned went over test taking strategies and took a math exam. My graduating class is very diverse there were 3 males in the class lol it looks like there is a good blend of personalities I am very eager to start School I just hope my friends will be okay for the next two years ( I am going to be MIA nose to the books)
Dates to remember:
Orientation August 25th
First day of School August 31st

Hey people :0) thought I’d give you a mini update on my life. I’m doing very well I finished out my final semester at Manor College with an A in Microbiology and a B in Anatomy II overall GPA for the semester of a 3.5. I must Say I am very pleased I really enjoyed my time at Manor and I’m really looking forward to starting nursing school. I am a bit nervous about the expenses of nursing school and apprehensive about taking out loans. I know I will do well and I’m greatful for all those who have helped me through the academic process.

I also wanted to extend a thank you to the South Eastern Pennsylvania Area Black Nurses Association. I had the opportunity this weekend to attend an event of theirs. Thank you for the invitation. I was able to meet students from both the sophomore and senior class at Dixon. If I may…”Shout out to the BG’s” lol “I am happy that I was welcomed as a new initiate” I appreciate your warmth and eagerness to make my experience at Dixon Memorable.

Life has been good I won’t complain I am in good health great shape and the weather is sunny I pray you all have a blessed and productive summer
Much love

Today I received my Acceptance letter form Dixon …..How do I feel?
Content. I’m ready for this process to get underway the sooner I get to Dixon the sooner I can graduate and Move on to my Masters Degree. Then I’ll be able to Begin pursuing my dream of my own Holistic Birthing Center. Thank you all for your support of first person and your contributions to the trust fund.

I have a new attribute I now go by Ma’at which means truth and justice I think that my given name has reached it’s climactic point and it is time for a rebirth. My previous attribute meant Queen or Ruler I think I have lived that name through it’s time to elevate to the next level hence the new name. Ma’at is the Name of an Egyptian Goddess. My aim is to shed this mortal skin and elevate to the realm of the Most High. So if you see me out there in the world Call me Ma’at ( Muh-Ah-Tuh) practice makes perfect. I am sure those of you who have been keeping up with me have been wondering why the transformation.. I have grown out of religion and into straight facts I am Muslim by definition (one who is of peace) but not by social construct. If you wish to know moore ask a question…
:-)
Peace in the Lamb is truely Wonderful

I’m pretty sure I qualify for graduation from Manor college even though technically I’ll be transferring to Dixon school of nursing…I figure why go through the ceremony if I’m not technically done…
So the question is….to graduate or not to graduate??
I’m leaning twords the NOT…
why graduate if it’s not over yet??
What do you think?
