 I have learned many valuable lessons throughout my life, but nothing compares to the lesson that I have learned this past year, which was to follow my heart and do what makes me happy. Always wanted to be a nurse my entire life, wanted to be in the medical field. When the pandemic hit, I became a CNA, so that was, that was challenging. I knew I still wanted to be in the medical field, but I realized nursing was not the right fit for me at this time. I was lost. I had no idea what I wanted to do or who I wanted to be. I remember I was sitting in the counselor's office crying and I was like, I need something new, like I'm not where I'm supposed to be, like I need something and I remember it's gonna make me cry. My instructor came down and was like, we'll be fine, you'll do great in this program and I loved it. I was scared I would disappoint people and their expectations of me, but I still decided to switch my major back to medical assisting. Fast forward nine months and I've never been happier with the decision I have made. The biggest takeaway I want you all to leave with today is to follow your heart, follow your dreams and do what makes you happy. Because in the end, we only live one life and you will come to realize that the most important person to impress in life is yourself.
