Waiting for an End

So as of  today there are 25 days left until I graduate....WOW!! I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. It seems like 370 days ago I was aching for this day to arrive, and even more so now. It has been a trying and hectic year with school, work, children, husband, studying, homework, clinicals,oh yea and on top of that packing and preparing for a big move..more on that later..now as I look back on the year, from when I first started the RN program, I can see growth..yes growth..I have been tested, despaired, overjoyed, and exhausted, and yet here I am alive and well and stronger. I am here thanks to the support and cooperation of my wonderful family and friends...when I was overwhelmed, they took some of my load, when I was down and out they picked me up, when I needed to talk, they lend me an ear, and offered encouraging words. I am so thankful for them. So as I am waiting for an End to one Chapter, I anxiously await what comes next.
