SOLOMONA FAMILY 2011

Clinicals

Its March 21, 2011 and this weekend I had my first 8hr shift of clinicals. Alot of people would say that its not for them. I've come to the conclusion that one day we will all get old and need someone to help with chores, meals, cleaning and other things that we take for granted. I'm grateful for the love that my parents have given me and for the way that I was raised. I'm glad to report that my clinicals were not that bad. I actually liked it. It took me a while to warm up to the patients but at the same time I don't blame them. I wouldn't want just anyone all up in my room and space too. I would rather the regular nurses in my room than just any old random person. I went to clinicals with an open mind and telling myself that no matter what happens in this 8hr shift I would be that much closer to my clinicals ending... But now that I only have one day I can really see myself in this field and I'm not scared at all... I actually feel more comfortable entering this field I'm so excited about my family and what 2011 has in store for us...

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays... Still so much to do and so little time....

Today marks the one year of the Samoa tsunami. I remember when they spoke of it on KSL and it didn't really hit me until I tuned in on the Samoan Radio website. My heart was torn into pieces. Although I wasn't there I was affected by it in a way that I would never have thought to be. I cried that whole week and immediately started to go through my clothes and household stuff so that when the donating spots opened up my family would be able to do whatever we can to help out. I longed to be there to help my people. I was so sad. I feel for the families that lost everything. I hope and continue to keep praying for our people back home in the islands.
