“Finally home,” she thought to herself as she pulled into the garage. She was tired from another long day at work and was ready to kick off her shoes, grab a hot meal, and settle onto the couch with her phone. She’d just finished watching a funny dance video when another post caught her attention. Someone was talking about nursing school and the journey it took to get there. She paused and kept reading. She’d been thinking about a career change and had even looked into nursing programs.

I couldn’t believe their responses, but after some thought I had to admit it...
