My family went there for their undergraduate degrees, so it felt natural to keep following that way. I read wonderful things about the Nursing Program at Florida International University, and I had a full scholarship. I got into the Honors College, and everything lined up. I still have the friends I made there - they are like family. I'm very thankful for FIU in more ways than I can count. I went through a lot in my undergraduate years, and the professors who saw me through it all taught me a lot about resilience and being grateful. I learned the importance of giving back and being there for other people. Especially in nursing school, you go through those moments of thinking, 'Am I in the right place?' The easier option is to give up, but if you stick it out, it is so worth it.
