You can get a job, get married and have a family. These things will happen and you think everything is going to be okay. However, bad things can also happen and will happen when you’re not expecting it. For example, my dad worked at his job for a long time, and when he was not expecting it, he was fired and left with no job, a wife, and 2 kids and house to take care of. He thought everything was falling apart and did not know how to fix it. This is a great example of a bad time that can reveal things you never knew before.

This was a very tough time for me, having school to worry about, and my health and my friends health's to worry about also. I missed over a week of school and really fell behind on grades and motivation. I was always in pain, and constantly driving to Grand Rapids to visit my boyfriend in the hospital. There are a lot of things I could name that was bad about this experience, but some things were good about getting into this accident. I never knew what I wanted to study in college or what I had an interest in. But after this accident, my boyfriend was in the hospital for almost a year, and I was constantly with him, at the hospital and at home. He always needed to be taken care of because he was in critical condition, so I slowly learned how to take care of him so he could feel better. I saw how the nurses and doctors took care of him, and I learned a lot of important things at the hospital. All of this made me realize I really wanted to go into nursing as a
