One Girl With One Big Dream
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
Life as a kid wasn’t easy for me. Between having a brother 2 years older
than me that has multiple mental disabilities, and myself having an OCD
(obsessive compulsive disorder) called trichotillomania, which is the
pulling of hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes and etc.....so you can
imagine that my life wasn’t a box of chocolates like they say. I’ve had
this disorder since I was 5 years old, and was I mad fun of in schoo? The
answer is YES, more than you could ever imagine! I am about to be 21 years
old, and have finally decided that nursing in pediactrics is what I want to
major in college. All those years of being made fun of for what I look like
on the outside and not wanted to get to know me for me personality really
pushes me to want to be somebody. Someone that helps others, in which I love
to do! Right now I am working fulltime at the Lancaster Regional Hospital as
a pharmacy tech, and I like my job, I just want to advance to a high
education status, in a career that I LOVE! My plans are to go to school part
time and then work at the hospital fulltime and once I finish college I will
get a career at one of the hospitals in my area majoring in
neonatal/pediactrics!
