Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to visit my ePortfolio. For those of you who don’t know, my name is Marie Desire. I decided to return to school after about 15 years to finally pursue my dream of obtaining a bachelor’s degree in nursing last fall. I got the courage to do so after seeing my eldest get hers.

Some background on me, I am an adult learner, well into my 50s, and am the mother of two girls. I work in a city rehabilitation and nursing care facility as a licensed practical nurse. I immigrated from Haiti in the early 90s, so English is my second language. Through helping my children with schoolwork and attending college myself, I was able to build up a decent command of the English language.

This semester allowed me to expand my ability to effectively convey my ideas across paper. This ePortfolio is a testament to my knowledge and growth. Feel free to comment and give tips on how I can improve further.
