Past, Present, Future Paper

Past, Present, and Future Paper When I was a child, I knew that I wanted to be a nurse just like my mom. I started preparing myself by majoring in science, math, and typing in high school. I knew that these classes would one day prepare me for college. When I enter college at the University of Memphis after high school, I take all the prerequisites needed for the nursing program. Later, I entered nursing school at Baptist School of Nursing and I was well on my way to becoming a nurse.

So, I gave birth to my daughter and never went back to school. I continued working in various jobs like Kroger, ToysRus.com, Sam's Club, Alabaster Cleaning Service, and now Super Target. In between the various jobs, I had a second child five years later. On August 2003, I was hired as a cake specialist for the first Super Target in Memphis. I worked as a cake specialist for the first two years and later became a deli team leader. I knew that this job would be challenging
