this morning i shadowed a nurse at an elementary school. they were talking about this boy whose father tried to kill his mom by stabbing her in the neck. instead she was stabbed 3 times in the face and her arm. she got away from him and went into the room where the kids were hiding and they all saw her..the face bleeds HEAVILY. she came into see the nurse to see about scarring and she wore a blanket over her head and the stitches on her face looked bad and one was right under her eye...they were all talking in spanish then someone said in english that she never pressed charges and he could be out of jail. i got so scared that he was going to come to the school i started looking around the room for things to defend myself with. the social worker and protective services took care of her.

it all made me realize that really i have no problems in my life and all my "problems" are stupid and selfish. last night i was in such a bad mood and snapped at some people b/c i was tired and had been at a meeting all day. so dumb and minuscule. it sucks that i had to experience something so horrible to realize how lucky i am.

i am a vessel that is to be used to help people lol and today made me realize how much i want to be a nurse.
