First day experience.

I have come to the US for more than one month, and yesterday was my first day at school; I was very excited. The COUNS class was the most expected class of mine because I have read some short stories in the GIG book, I really like it and I want to know more about careers in that book, especially nursing.
After finishing the reading class, I went to counseling class and I was surprise because there were many people in the class and the people were keep moving in. I tried to find a seat which was nearest to the teacher’s desk in order to hear her talk easily and look at her when she was talking. I sat at the left side of the class with some Mexican friends, one of them answered those “to know each other” questions with me. We worked in group of two to question and answer these questions. It turned out that many people wanted to be engineers, even my partner. After that the professor told us about some rules and some information about online class.
The most interesting thing was viewing the answer of the question that sooner or later the students will ask “which career earns much money”. Twenty careers were nominated: Marketing manager, Psychologist… Because there were many careers that I did not know, I could not remember all of them and because at that time, I just waited and waited and waited and waited for nurse to come out but it did not. I was a little bit disappointed about that but then I thought “it is okay”; I have my own reasons and purpose to become a nurse. I wanted to be a nurse so that I can join some charitable activities, UNICEF as an example, to help poor people, kids; with my skill of health care I could care for them and know what is good for them. Furthermore, as a nurse I would not be as busy as a doctor, so I could have time to care about my family, join charitable activities, do something to enjoy life…
In conclusion, it is an interesting class that I attended and although it seems that I already had the “idea”, I could not decided yet. Therefore, I am very eager to attend at the next counseling class on Thursday.
