Who Am I?

Someone recently asked me, "what will you do when you don't have to study anymore?". My response was, "rediscover myself". I have been "Robin the student" for so long that I don't know "Robin the non-student" anymore. I mentioned to Billy the other day that I don't know who I am anymore and he said, "you're noone right now". He's right. Not to mean that my existence has no value, but that I have been taken over by the "Pima Pod People" and will not be released from their power until August 14th . I am eager for my reunion with life and for the renewed freedom to become reacquainted with myself.

I look forward to going someplace without the nagging thoughts of "I should be studying" hanging over my head. I can't wait to delete the calender in my brain that constantly flashes upcomming tests and homework assignments. I look forward to being able to go somewhere without a backpack filled with respiratory books, and I am excited to participate in church instead of feeling like a visitor.

School has been exciting and it has opened up many doors for me, but now I want to walk through those doors and experience new challenges. I have worked hard and long. My goal is finally within reach, but the biggest hurdle is at the end where I will need to reach deep within to find that inner strength to carry me over the finish line.

I am thankful for the opportunity to go to school, and I look forward to the service I will be able to perform as a healthcare provider. I so look forward to being "me" again and when this is all over and I am once again reintroduced to life outside of Pima I will have a party and burn my navy blue scrubs.
