And Then
The fresh ocean breeze caressed my cheeks and brushed my long curls that hung loosely down my back. I drew in a deep breath letting the cool air settle into the depths of my lungs enjoying the freedom as it washed over me. The sun was high in the sky, the ship was out of the harbour and sailing into the open waters. Looking back I saw the dock shrinking slowly, the people running about beginning to look like ants and the sound of the city fading so all that was left was the rushing of water down below. I decided to find my room and get settled.

Midnight Exploration
The house loomed large and foreboding down the drive that was about half a kilometer, shadowed by overgrowth and trees long gone. The moon loomed large in the sky above casting just enough light to make my way without a flashlight. Black paint peeled off the wrought iron gate that scratched my hand wrapped around the cold metal and let out a wail as I pushed it slowly. I allowed myself a moment of respite, taking in a few deep breaths before willing my feet to start down the drive.

I Am Guilty
Being guilty of falling into the trap that is judgement is inevitable; eventually a thought will cross our minds that make us ashamed and guilty. Parents try to raise their children not to judge a book by its covers because you don't know what is inside, but it happens and we become guilty. Living with two little boys who struggle every day has taught me that judgement is everywhere and no amount of mental preparation will ever be enough to manage all the stares and questions tossed around. I often think of how tired I am of explaining the issues and difficulties these young boys face to absolutely everyone; it breaks my heart even more when I see them struggle to understand that they aren't the same as other children. One day I'd simply like to say, "hey, these are my brothers and they are pretty awesome."

One Day
One day as a nurse will forever change a person. We cry, we laugh, we make very inappropriate jokes in order to cope. From cleaning up fecal matter to reviving someone back to life, we never know what assignment we'll be managing. The angles that must be considered when going into nursing are infinite; there will always be something new to learn.
