When I was a little girl I had always known that when I grew up that I wanted to work in the medical field since my grandmothers, aunts, grandfather and several other members of my family were either nurses, doctors or vets, so the medical field always interested me. When I told my family at age 15 that I was definitely going into the medical field I was very fortunate that they all supported my dream. Once I graduated high school my family pooled money together so that I could attend college and I did so mostly paying for it as I went so that when I graduated I wasn’t in debt with a slew of student loans. With that said, some people don’t have that luxury of families helping them obtain further education so I was very fortunate to have family support.
