Oh, by the way, my name is Leza and I am studying to be a nurse (currently in the pre-clinical phase of a nursing program). Also, I work as a program assistant, and when time permits, a freelance makeup artist.
Here's a bit of backstory:
Late last year, I made some major changes in my life (all good...just different). I gave up my full-time job, in order to focus on attending school during the day. Initially, I tried to remain a full-time employee while going to school at night, but for me it was a no go. Working five days a week, attending classes five nights a week with Saturdays and Sundays spent studying, catching up on much-needed sleep, and organizing myself for the week ahead was killing me. So, it was either keep my full time job and give up on becoming a nurse, or...take a leap of faith and terminate my employment in the hopes that I would find another job that would complement my new situation.
As luck would have it, I found the program assistant position within a month after leaving my former position. Now, I work three days a week with the hours working around my school schedule. My managers are lovely and very supportive of my goals.
Sometimes...you just have to take a leap of faith.
