My old advisor told me Spanish was required for entrepreneurship which is why I took it for a second quarter. Otherwise I would not have taken a lot of the classes I took this quarter for my current major. I took what he and I agreed would be beneficial towards my previous major. I definitely plan on turning things around. I would love to complete my major in the social work program at Walla Walla University. Now that I have a chosen path for my true passion, I know I will be able to succeed. In the future I want to work with the geriatric population, and eventually start my own nursing home. In my formative years I felt I had a calling, with a gift to bring happiness especially to the elderly, as well as to others. My grandfather is in a nursing home, and I love to visit him as much as possible when I’m home. I see so many things I want to change there, and also correlate into my nursing home one day. I’ve also had the privilege of shadowing a social worker where my mom works. Even writing about this makes me want to cry, because I am so determined and excited to fulfill this dream one day. I am praying that I will be able to stay, and take the courses towards my social work
