Heellllooooo World!

Well this is it.  Finally I have made it.  I have finally completed nursing school.  Wow! I sit here and just say wow.  In the beginning it seemed impossible, but the impossible has become the possible.

I say congratulations to all of my classmates, we made it.  We have completed the task and now prepare to go forth with new tasks.  I pray that of you all continue to higher education.

CityTech and CUNY should be elated because they are graduating the next wave of great Nursing Educators, Instructors, Policy-makers, and Leaders in Healthcare.  Thank you for teaching with passion and commitment to our profession.

I have two favorite poems one is “Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes the other “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost.  I will share “Dream Deferred” at this time.

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Now is the time to explode!
