CNA Class!

....Why am I in school again? This was the first thought that came to my mind when I woke up this morning. Today was the beginning of my summer CNA classes.

Four hours long, one teacher, and a lot of information. It's going to be a challenge, but challenge is fun! Can't imagine a life without challenges? My teacher has been working in health care for 36 years and has had a lot of training. It's pretty cool! She's honest and very up front with how dangerous of a field this is.

She's already giving us advice of how to defend ourselves, "learn how to duck" she says.

Yep, this is going to be an adventure! We are required to do 40+ hours of clinical work outside of the classroom. We have to recieve above 80% on our exams and each student gives a 15 min. presentation for the class. (ahh!) The coolest part is, for our dress code in class she wants us to look professional. Now, when I heard that I thought, "no, please don't make us wear dresses or skirts!" Instead she says, come to class in scrubs!

Pretty awesome, because scrubs are practically the most comfortable clothing around, besides pajamas! Lol
All in all, there are around 20 students in my class. Half of them are married or have children. But they are a fun group of people! I think it's going to be a good experience. Thank you to all who are praying! It is greatly appreciated!

One year down...who know's what's next?!

Okay, so I just recently finished my first year of College. The cool thing is...I never have to be a freshmen again! But, there's still much work to be done in order to go into the medical field. Ahhh! Just kiddin', it should be a blast, as well as a challenge.
God has definitely put me in life changing moments this past year of college. I've had to make decisions that impacted my future and those around me. Life can be tough! But it's how you face those challenges that really defines who you are as a person.
I made mistakes... I made good choices...and I've been stretched. He's not done yet and that's the cool part! Today Sue and Deanne Carpenter met me for coffee at a really cool place! They've remodeled this church and transformed it into a coffee place. The name is Rembrandts! You should check it out, in Eagle,ID if you ever get the chance. (try the Kat's Meow)
We had a great time just catchin' up on the last year and hearing about eachother's past experiences. Sue talked about her and Carolyn's experience in Cambodia and Malaysia! Which was amazing! God is doing awesome work in the lives of the children in Cambodia!
Deanne shared about this special event called the Black Ball. It's a type of fund raiser for those who are involved in Royal Family Kids Camp. They had a couple testimonies from those who had previous gone to camp as a camper. Apparently this was the first time they've had
testimonies shared at the Black Ball?! Pretty Cool!

Otherwise, seems like Sue and Deanne (two crazy gals..lol) are doing well. But it doesn't hurt to keep them in prayer! Sue and Carolyn have a full summer of ministry in store for them and they could use allot of support! So let's keep them in prayer!

Blessings,

P.S. I begin classes with BSU on Monday 21st of May for my CNA (certified nursing assistant). To be honest, I'm really nervous and could use prayer.

Thanks*
