My Journey! My Passion!

My journey and My passion may go in two different directions. Although this may be the case I’m sure they will meet at the crossroads.


What I am trying to say is I may be heading in a total different direction than my passion. All my life the only thing I wanted to do is work in a hospital and become a nurse. Somewhere along the line I got distracted and my life was interrupted. My dreams were shattered and my life was put on hold.


The blessing in this story was I gave birth to five beautiful children. Although having my children may have caused my journey to be temporarily stagnated, I got back on track. They are teenagers now and I am headed in a new direction.

I am in college now after being out of school for thirty years. When I first enrolled in LaGuardia Community college, my intentions were to follow my dreams of becoming a nurse. After being in school for two years, I realized it would take more time than I am willing to give.


Now I have come to the conclusion, I will not become a registered nurse I will become a licensed practical nurse instead. I will still follow my passion for helping people and possibly working in a hospital which will fulfill my heart and life.


My journey, My passion, is heading in a new direction. It starts at LaGuardia Community College. This is my last semester, after I receive my associates degree I intend on going back to school for my Bachelors Degree, but not right away. I would like to get my feet wet in a hospital working as a social worker first in hopes that they will pay for me to go back to school to get a higher degree.

Since I have been at LaGuardia I have been working in the Health Services Center as a Peer Health Educator. This job helps me network not just within the college but with different organizations outside that the college is affiliated with.


I know working in the Health Services Center is not working in a hospital; however it is where I am learning a lot about the world of health and other organizations involved.

These are the links which are most interesting to me:


Energy - it's most important we as visitors of this planet use energy efficient bulbs and appliances.

Climate Crisis- crisis and control. Our summers are getting hotter and our winters are staying warmer!!! Doesn’t that tell you something?

Green Powered Homes- Yea Right!!!! How’s that going to work? I can hear the controversy with the people on the block saying,” This is causing my property value to decrease. You pompous idiot!!! The world is about to burn.

Public Transportation - I can see the sardines packed neatly into the cars now. They are angry because the train was half hour late.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle- This is my favorite because I am still learning how to do this.


These sites were very interesting to me because they are the ones that I have the hardest time following. I rather drive oppose to taking the train. I am still getting the hang of recycling and although I see the greener bags in the grocery store, I'd rather use theirs. Going Green for me will take some getting used to however I am putting an effort into it. I am more aware of the difference.
