5/5

Mr. Brown looks at me in class one day and says "you are the type of student who would drive to class just to get your grade aren't you?" I smiled, "yes, yes I am!" It is true, I am an anal retentive control freak. I didn't used to be this way, but trying to gain admission to nursing school does crazy things to you. Crazy things like being completely distraught and crying for hours because you got an A- instead of an A. (yes, I did this). We are all like this, the pre-nursing bunch. Frazzled, uptight, nervous and trapped by the all consuming need to be perfect. No one is perfect, we are all flawed and now that the semester is over I realize that I did my best and it is out of my hands. I just have to hope that my best is enough. :)
