    If I could go back to the past and talk to myself in September 2013, I would tell my younger self to be prepared for the next four years.

    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference.

This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…
