Ahhh! I'm on cloud 9 right now!

   So, you're probably wondering why I'm so happy today. First, it's super nice outside and I took my babies to the park to play this morning. The other reason why I'm happy is that I found out today I got in the 89th percentile on the hobet test! I've been trying so hard for my family to do good in my classes and get into the respiratory program and finding out this news has brought me one step closer to the program next fall. Here's an explanation of what the hobet test is.  HOBET  I feel like I could run a mile right now with all the energy I have. Anyways, here's the story behind why I'm so dedicated to becoming a respiratory therapist. When I was a little girl, just in first grade, I developed chronic asthma and on top of that had a low immune system. I was hospitalized with pneumonia one to two times a year. It got to the point where I knew the nurses' names in the children ward at St. Johns hospital. One year I was in very bad condition and I was scared and alone. My night respiratory therapist had to give me a breathing treatment every two hours. Breathing treatments are supposed to last way longer than that. This respiratory therapist was the reason why I wanted to become one. He was so nice and really cared, unlike the nurses who didn't even try to make conversation with me. I want to be like him. I want to be a light in someone's life and make that difference he made in mine. It's a scary thing to not breathe and I know I'll put my heart into making all my patients feel better. My big dream is to work at one of the cancer treatment centers, but I know that will probably be years down the road. Here's a page showing information about my dream work place.

I should now in the next couple of weeks if I made it into the program or not.Respiratory Therapist Overview
