I adore that even though I'm over forty, I still look young, am sometimes confused for my kids' sister, and even get carded while out for drinks with loved ones. I feel alive, robust, and extroverted, with a great sense of confidence and vigor. I'm committed to developing both personally and professionally as I work toward earning a master's degree that will allow me to practice as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have a tremendous desire to help people, even in the face of difficulties.
How do you stay fabulous?Even though my life may seem boring, I stay fabulous because I find happiness in the little things in life. I find great satisfaction in spending meaningful time with my small group of family and friends, even with my hectic schedule juggling work, school, and personal obligations. I make sure to obtain enough sleep to replenish my energy so that I can work hard and pursue my objectives with fervor and tenacity.
What would you do with the $40,000?My goal would be to pursue a doctorate in nurse practitioner if I had forty thousand dollars. With this financial assistance, I would be able to concentrate more on my studies and less on my financial difficulties by easing the load of tuition, books, and related fees. My goal in getting my PhD is to improve my professional expertise and abilities, which will help me have more security in my job.
