A Time of Reflection
Hi my name is Barbara Hughes and I am a 48 year old new student. I studied Dental assisting in the Navy and practiced it for the next 30 years. My last job assignment was being a scheduling coordinator; I liked it a lot but did not get the satisfaction of helping patients. I lost my job due to a company downsizing, you know the one: last hired first fired, well I decided I was done with the dental field. My next decision was to go back to school and get my Nursing degree. I found out that I was going to have a lot of diverse classes to take in order to get in to the course. English 98 was a really easy class for me not a lot of essay writing, although this class has shown me a totally different road.
Today I sat and thought about what I had discovered about myself in this class. I have slowly determined that I have not much talent as a writer. I didn't really get why I need to be able to write a story when I am going to be a nurse, but then I realized that when I do write a report on someone I am looking after it's a story I am writing. Mostly I have the facts in my head I know what I want to say but I can't always get it down on paper. I have struggled with the essay part of this class and still don't feel very comfortable writing one. I have a caring mind that is not very analytical. I hope one day I will be able to write in a different mindset.
