edited November 15 in Introduce Yourself
I used to think I needed to lose weight to make people actually notice me and want to be around me, but it wasn't until recently that I had my own little epiphany. I am 22 years old and I just graduated from nursing school, currently studying to take my state exam. It wasn't until a person from my own family said something personally attacking me (while they were not in the right state of mind). I spent the night it happened feeling super depressed and heart broken, but while I was sleeping, I had a dream that inspired me. I have now come to realize I have to take care of me. I can never depend on someone to take care of MY life. I have so much to be proud of in my life and no time for things that are going to bring me down. NOW, it's time to be proud of not only who I am inside, but to be proud of who I am on the outside. I'm doing this for me! I have tended to stray from this goal in the past when I became depressed or lonely or bored, so I could really use as much support in my journey as I can get!

    If you made it through nursing school, you can do almost anything! You've got this, and best of luck on your exams
