Since I typically complain about all the negative things related to going back to school I thought I would let y'all know how things went this semester since I finished the semester last night.
I started Microbiology in January with the goal of making an "A" in the class. I needed the 30 points towards my nursing entrance that an "A" would allow me. I am not sure at that time if I truly ever thought an "A" would be possible, yet I told everyone that what I was shooting for. The first day of class I was very intimidated, I found out we would cover all 28 Chapters in the book. 28 Chapters is a lot of information, especially when it's related to biology which I have not taken since the 9th grade (1997). I thought to myself...if I am going to prove to anyone, especially myself, that I can make it through Nursing School, this will be the place to start.
I spent a lot of time reading these past few months, went to the library more than I ever have in my life, took a lot of notes, never missed a single class or lab....made more "A's" on test than I had ever in my life....and finally I made my "A" in the class. I finished Microbiology with a 94%. I couldn't be more pleased with my performance nor could I have done any better. I am walking away from the class with a lot more knowledge than I started with and the confidence I needed to know that I can make my dream of becoming a nurse a reality. I will never sit here and think "I can't do it" again. I really enjoyed the class and am pleased that the information is in my memory and was not just part of the "do enough to pass" part of my brain.
