“Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren’t real. They’re just God’s way of testing you. He’s asking you, “Do you want to make it or not?”
- Russell Simmons, American entrepreneur and philanthropist.
I feel like I am up in the clouds right now...after my fair share of obstacles the last few months I have finally overcome them! Yesterday was a BIG day for me, after not passing the HESI my first try, I overcame that dang exam and passed yesterday with a 919 (you need better than 800) I walked out of that test so happy I couldnt stop smiling and I immediately had butterflies in my stomach...one more thing to mark of my list, one more thing that takes me closer to becoming a nurse...I am down to 21 days until graduation and have never been happier, finally my nursing school road is coming to an end. Someone once told me that all things are a matter of the mind and all you need to do it take your mind over the matter...that has never been truer for me than right now in my life. Sitting down to take that exam I had to focus my thoughts just on the question in front of me and put all other thoughts to the side, and doing that completely paid off...passing the HESI is something so silly and small in the grand scheme of things but passing that exam just proved to me that whatever the obstacle I can overcome it.
“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.”
- Rabindranath Tagore, Poet, Novelist & Asia’s first Nobel laureate.
