You know...
... I have known for a long time that no one on the face of this earth is perfect (especially including myself). Everyone makes mistakes. Again I saw tonight how one person's mistake can cause another person copious amounts of time, effort, stress, and much more. I have learned that mistakes/decisions can be made by accident, or just pure laziness. I also think that the most significant thing that I have learned is that although making a mistake is vital, it is what you learn from making that mistake that is truly most important.
Over the course of ending my life as a student and moving on up into the profession of nursing, somewhere inbetween I FINALLY grew a backbone. For years I sat back and watched as people spoke their opinions on issues. For years I kept my own opinions to myself. Well finally I have begun to speak up when I think something might be wrong, that I might disagree with. I no longer will have people walk over me. I have become empowered. I realize that my opinions DO matter and that if I speak up I will be heard or at the very least will continue talking until I am heard. I am in a changing stage of my life.
