My Best Friend and I
I first met Hannah Blake our fifth grade year in elementary school. We had the same fifth grade teacher, and instantly became best friends. We started hanging out because we thought it was the coolest thing that we had the same name and our birthdays are exactly two weeks apart. Over the past eight years, we have become very close.

We both had internships at our local hospital during our senior year of high school. She did her internship in ICU, and I did mine in the Labor & Delivery unit. These were both amazing experiences that taught us so much and helped us to realize this is what we wanted to do. We believe that our time in these departments will help make school easier, because we will be able to relate to what really goes on outside the classroom and what the real world is really like. Upon graduating from college, I plan to move away and start a life and a family of my own, while Hannah Blake plans to stay closer to
