So very Proud of Pooker!

I am so very very proud of this girl!  She has a goal of going to nursing school.  She has pursued it and found her path. She knew that she needed to impress and has worked hard to do so.  I share her facebook post because I am beyond proud of her!

"All blue!  
Finished my first term with WGU yesterday before work.  
17 credits in 5 months while working over 40 hours a week with both jobs, and a career change to boot! This was a challenge, but honestly it has been hands down the best semester of my life. 
The tools to succeed and material to learn are present, but it’s the support and encouragement that were present from both my personal mentor and every course mentor that really allow you to reach a potential you may not trust you have. I can’t speak highly enough of this school/program.
WGU is one of the only schools that has an online pre nursing program. (Most online programs require you to have your RN first) because of this, there is a preliminary term for those who aren’t RN’s yet. So even though I tested and got into WGU, we now go through a second admission process, including an interview with the board, all background checks and finishing all your needed classes ahead of schedule. Thus the pressure to finish has been intense as we got closer to decision making time. My interview went well and all seems to be in place for me to continue onward with the full program. We find out in a few weeks! 
Now we celebrate! My brian seriously doesn’t know what to do. I need some whiskey and two steppin. Feels so good to feel smart again. Thanks family and friends for praying, helping, supporting and dealing with me this term.  💙
As always let me know if you want info!"

Then a week later she shared her letter with the family.  I blotted out anything that might be too private to share.  I just have to share the note though.  This young woman loves learning.  She loves caring for others.  I love that she found a program that utilizes her strengths and that is amazing.  She didn't give up when the traditional routes were not a good fit.  I love that about this young woman.  She will succeed in life because she puts her heart into all that she does.  Right now we celebrate with her for her current good news.
