I realize now that I could never put an animal down and my heart couldn 't take seeing an injured animal. I’ve decided now that becoming a registered nurse (RN) is the career that I want to pursue. Being an RN is a rewarding career because I will be taking care of people and trying to make them feel better. Becoming a registered nurse is something I have always dreamed of. Now that I am very excited to be finally in college and starting on the right track to becoming what I want to be. Right now I’m taking the basic classes for my AA degree.
