back to school...

So this week was my first day back to school in almost a year!!! It wasn't as hard to get back into the studying routine as I thought it would be. So if you don't know I started Nursing school this week. I am in a Cohort at MCC through the Banner Nurse Fellows Program. My program is 15 months long. I graduate in June of 2010. Banner pays for my school (over $2,300) and all my books ($1,200). I then agreed to work for them for the first 3 years after I graduate or I repay them the money. I am so happy I found out about this program!! I didn't have to wait as long to start nursing school (usually the wait is 3 to 4 semesters), I don't have a summer (which sounds negative but it gets school done faster and I don't have too much time to forget things I have learned), I get between 1 to 3 weeks off after every block (every 14 weeks), I get to go to MCC which is where I really wanted to go to school but has the longest wait, Four girls from Mesa High are in the cohort with me (Mallory, April, Sara, and Chaya), I love my teachers they really are there to help me succeed, I have a job when I graduate, and the timing is perfect!!!
I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to go to school at this time. I was sad at first that it took me so long to get into school, but I know that Heavenly Father knows best and this really is the best time for me to be going to school. It is such a blessing to have girls in the cohort that I know and can study with. Also, it is perfect timing with Dallin and his job that it is more consistent now so I don't have to work. I am so grateful for Dallin. He is so supportive not only does he work but when he comes home he helps with the dishes after dinner and helps fold the laundry too. He is such a blessing to me in my life.
