Why I Am Here at Tcc?

Why I am Here At TCC

Happy New Year! Everyone cheered, thankful to see another year. With excitement all around me, I began to think. What will I do different in 2011? Refusing to make another list of resolutions that wouldn't last a month. What is my purpose? I asked myself. Yes I'm a wife and stay at home mom of two, which is the best job in the world. But I want more and this is the year it would happen. I'm going to college! It had been almost 10 years since high school graduation. Uncertain about where I would attend, but knowing that I wanted to go was the first step. My ideal college had to offer me opportunity to be successful, lead me into a rewarding career as a registered nurse, and last but not least enhance a better life for my children. "From here go anywhere", the TCC commercial on TV caught my attention. That same day I decided that TCC was the college I would attend and I applied online right away. Filled with excitement I told everyone I was attending school in August. I even encouraged some of my family and friends to attend TCC. I am proud to say I am here at TCC to make a positive change in my life and encourage others to do the same.

Choosing TCC was going to give me the opportunity to be successful. I reviewed the courses and the time it would take for a degree. I was certain that my decision was the right one. This college offers instructional programs that you can get a degree in two years. The instructors will prepare me for hands on experience. Being taught hands on experience will prepare me for entering the workplace. Or I could transfer my credits to a four year baccalaureate institution and receive a bachelor's degree.

I'm pursuing a rewarding career as a registered nurse. The nursing program at TCC is highly favored and acceptance into the program is very competitive. I am a very determined individual and I am up for the challenge. This program will provide me the clinical practice in a hospital setting. In only five full time semesters I can have an Associate in Applied Science degree in nursing, wow, saying that aloud is amazing to me. Learning the skills, my love for helping others, and meeting new people will allow me to be a good nurse. My only wish is to make a difference in people's lives as a registered nurse. Graduating from the nursing program at TCC will give me employment opportunities in a variety of settings. When I complete the program I wish to work for a hospital in the Labor and Delivery department. Since the age of fifteen I have seen twelve babies born. I love to be present and I admire the nurses who work in Labor and Delivery department. The birth of your children is an amazing experience that is always remembered. I only hope that one day I am as wonderful as the nurses who cared for me during the birth of my two boys.
