I'm going back to uni this year in semester 2 to do psycholgy
I was doing my b/teaching and b/arts and it'd a good thing i quit because i have really bad grammer and can't spell for shit (see all my posts lol)
I wanted to be a primary school teacher since i was 10 yrs old and it took me 4 years to get my uai due to having a child young and 'life' just basically getting in the way but i keapt going and i made it
only to quit after a year of my degree
It's just that i was at uni for sooooooooo long and had only completed one year and still had three years to go and wasn't sure if i was sick of uni or sick of my degree so i decided to defer for a year to just 'be'
It was the best time in my life actually and the best thing i had done because i had alot of pressure from family to "finish your degree...your a single mum...make something of yourself " and yada yada yada *sigh*
In my time off i actually went to lot's of places, net heaps of people and experienced so much that i had never before and one day it just hit me what my purpose her was (as hippy as that is) and that's to be a nurse. I love looking after people and am always trying to make people smile etc and nursing to me is just making someones day a bit more comforatble and that's something i could do all day long
I realise nursing is hard work, low pay for what you do and it's a messy yucky job sometimes but that doesn't bother me. I just 'feel' that is what i'm here to do...my place so to speak....maybe it's the mum in me coming out? *shrugs* I just just know it's right.
While doing my teaching degree i did find that i have a deep love for psycolgy, socialogy, anthropology and basically seeing how people interacte and why they are the way they are so before i do my nursing degree i'm doing that basically because i can and i want and i'm interested
I would like maybe to be a pychiatric nurse though so will hopefully tie that all in together some day. But also I would like to do art and music therapy and go to hospitals and vist children and mental patients and people in prisons and hepl them deal with their emotions etc through art and music.So hopefully one day all three of those goals will be met *fingers crossed*
I have passion for what i want to do and i also have the confidence to know i can if i put my mind to it so i will achieve it.
Thanks for reading and sorry it was so long but it's something i just can't simplify without saying all of that
