Melony went to the hospital yesterday. We found out that she has typhoid. We were talking about it while we were in our room and none of us could remember exactly what causes typhoid or what the treatment is and such. Then I remembered that I brought my microbiology book. Now some of you may think it odd that I brought a textbook with me as a student missionary, but you have to remember, I was planning on working in a clinic and I am not a fully trained anything. Anyway, reading what my book had to say about typhoid honestly made me excited to go back to school and become a nurse!
This last school year I was basically just getting generals out of the way, so I wasn’t taking any nursing related classes and was not enjoying many of them. Don’t get me wrong, history is very interesting and so was learning Spanish, but I just didn’t have a passion for any of it. When I was reading my Micro book, I almost didn’t want to stop. I had forgotten how interesting it is to study that sort of thing. I think this is a good sign, especially since I was starting to not be sure if I should continue nursing, but now I am again convinced this is a good path for me. I’m starting to think I might even specialize in pediatrics, but that is not a definite thing yet!!
