New Wave

When I was in highschool I never really thought about going to college, so when I finally came to the decision of a major I never about it closely. I ended up just picking liberal studies as my major, which is being an elementary school teacher. If I want to be completely honest, I only chose because I knew it was a more stable job and the classes were not as difficult. Now that I think about it I was just a lazy highschool student who had no drive to go even further with my career. School was always something I was good at, when I was in 6th grade I was already in the honors class. Even in 3rd grade I was in the GATE program. I like school because you I get the chance to get away from my life at home. So after doing so good my first semester of college I realized I want to switch my major to nursing. I know it is a tough major but I believe I am fully capable of being successful. I think this new decision is really going to be life changing for me. I feel proud of myself for really thinking about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I always knew teaching just was not enough for me. It is just not enough action for me, it does not challenge me. I want a major that is going to push me to my full ability, and nursing has always been a goal of mine. I was just to scared that it would be too much for me, but now I know i can handle it. I am ready for the change, like dory said you have to just keep swimming.
