-However tough it may be at times, I am able to be a successful and independent adult

-Sometimes people change as they grow, and that's okay

-I love the church I joined in Omaha (Rockbrook United Methodist)

-Kids are much smarter than adults about many things

-A good sense of humor is necessary and beneficial

-It's not scary to put nasogastric tubes in or start IVs anymore

-When a basketball team steals the ball from the opposing team, it's called a turnover, not an interception

-My body suffers from stress

-Having a budget is very important

-Dating my best friend is amazing

-Being sick for 6 weeks can make a girl depressed for a while, and it hurts the pocketbook too...

-My Grandpa was a positive role model in my life

-I want to teach

3. Attend grad school and be on my way to a career in nursing education

What are your resolutions for the new year?
