Well if you must pry

My name is Marcus,

I am currently attending GCC to complete and/or retake several course credits in which did not transfer or where taken too long ago to apply.

I am a Pre-Medical student. I have been accepted to The University of Arizona's School of Pediatrics. Specific emphasis on Pulmonology and the study of Early Cystic Fibrosis in infants and adolescents.

I was also accepted into UNC's ( University of North Carolina's) Chapel Hill Medical School and the University of Miami's school of medicine, but the deciding factor was basically the opportunity to stay at home and not have to relocate.

I currently work at St.Josephs hospital as a Registered Nurse and I like what I do.

Originally I was not too certain that I wanted to return back to school, so I began taking a few classed to see if there was anything that i felt interested me, because while I love what i do, I had reached a point where it felt like i was just coasting, and while the money was okay, i felt like there was something more that i should or COULD be doing with my life. I did, and still do, have the option to instead obtain my Masters as a Nurse Practitioner which i have considered on multiple occasions, but it was the loss of someone I loved, and watched struggle for the last 4 years of her life before finally losing her battle at the age of 21 to Cystic fibrosis that motivated me to do what I am doing today.

If I could give anyone out there some advice who is not sure about what they want to do with there life or that if school is for them, it would be that even if you are unsure, DO SOMETHING, take your core classes, if nothing else complete the AGEC (Arizona's General Education Curriculum.) You never know when you might change your mind or find something that you are truly passionate about, and when you do, would would rather have something under your belt than nothing.
