Last winter I applied to the Okanagan campus for the LPN program, (licensed practical nurse). I wasn't confident that I would be accepted, I have been out of school for 4 years and my marks being submitted weren't so high. I also needed a pre-requisite course in order to be considered, which I wasn't able to take due to me being out of the county. Well, when I came home from travelling, my mom told me she indeed did sign me up for the pre-requisite, I was just a few weeks behind, not impossible, but it would be a lot of work to catch up. So over time I have caught up and am doing well in the course. So last week I received a phone call from admissions from OK College, asking me if I was still interested in taking the course because a seat just opened up! WHAT! .. as tears welled up in my eyes, I accepted with my heart beating wildly, I could barely believe it! The more I thought about it after my excitement drew, the more nervous and overwhelmed I felt. While I was travelling I told myself how much I couldn't wait to get home and start real life and routine back up. I wanted to get serious about my studies and go back to school. I guess I just didn't think it would happen this fast. The Lord put some pretty strong desires on my heart. I prayed over and over for guidance and to follow in His path layed out for me, and now I am doubting that?! It's nuts how quick He has knit this together! With some great reassurance, encouragement and support from my dear mother, I am psyched to do this! It's going to be tough and stressful, but nothing that I can't handle because the Lord is walking with me! Unfortunately I do have to complete the pre-req and receive over 70% to officially get in! Pray I do well ! :)
I am as giddy as a school girl.. oh wait, I will be a school girl ! ;)
