Commuting between college, high school, and work.

When I started my senior year, I went back and forth between my two schools and work. My teacher told me I was living a very "adult" life. However, I didn't feel like I was living an adult life, I felt like I was behind everyone else due to my lack of confidence.

In the first few weeks of class, we started simply with a few assignments but many skills to learn. We were required to complete our skills and demonstrate them to our instructors; we received very detailed criticism. Due to the very detailed criticism we always received, there were times when I became anxious before demonstrating my skills.

Within the next few weeks, we started taking our tests/quizzes. I was very confident in the test-taking portion of the class. I was always great at studying, even if it was last minute. I passed the test-taking portion of my class with flying colors.

Somewhere around October, there were 14 students (including me) left in the class. We had all passed our tests, mocks, exams, quizzes and demonstrated all of our skills. That meant it was finally time to put everything we had learned in lab and class into action. We were starting our first day of clinical. Our first day was straightforward; we simply took a tour of the hospital.

In the first few weeks of clinical, I was very timid and didn't know how to speak to patients. I was scared of possibly upsetting or hurting the person I was supposed to be supporting and taking care of. Eventually, I got the hang of it and became very confident in speaking to patients. I was confident in the knowledge I had gained over the past few months and started looking forward to my clinical sessions every week, wishing they were longer.

At the end of the year, clinical was coming to an end. I had checked off every skill that was required to complete the clinical portion of class. I was very sad to be ending my time at the hospital because I genuinely enjoyed interacting with patients daily and getting to know my patients while taking care of them. I completed this class with a greater understanding of myself and the kind of person I wanted to be. I discovered my ability to have extreme sympathy and patience with others inside and outside of the hospital.
