Not long after classes started, my husband passed away. Everything about my life changed. I was left to raise a six year old alone. It was pretty hard to keep up in my classes through the grief. It was a struggle, but I knew if I was gonna have to be on my own I needed to finish this. I need to have something to offer when I go on the job search. My son is what drove me to finish. This experience has kind of made me want to go further with my education. I have high hopes for the futures of both my son and myself.
As a single mom the journey was hard, but I kept going pushing through. I was ready to achieve something that I would love and enjoy doing.
[My instructor] Janet Andrews went out of her way to be helpful. She was uplifting and offered additional resources when I needed them. She was always there when I had questions and offered guidance when I had difficulty grasping some concepts contained in medical terminology breakdowns.
