I'm So Unsure
I do not know if I can do this, saying I was going for Master's Degree in Nursing sounded so beautiful to say, boast, advising me I was putting my best foot forward in life; setting aside all the roadblocks that would hinder my mental progress.
Is this the road all my generational Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Midwives in my family had to take, were there ever any doubts of them failing such as what I am feeling and it is only my first day. I have a year and a half, it could had been much longer, had I not had any college credits to transfer from my Bachelor's Degree program.
My grann is counting on me, I do believe she wants me to take over her practice some day. And how can I refuse, she is the one who put me on the road to my generational calling at the age of sixteen.
I hope day two is much better, if not... it hurts my heart just to think of the dire consequences and all the people in my family here, in Santo Domingo, France, and Haiti who I will be letting down, why when it comes to my generation, I'm the only one who is getting cold feet.
I do very well as a Nursing Director, but to my family that just is not enough, not acceptable by their standards.
As they say, welcome to their club, can't I enter with the VIP pass... better yet let them do my schooling.
I need you God more now than ever, I DON"T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS

It’s natural to be unsure and to fear failure, but you can’t bow down to peer pressure especially family ones. Your path is your own, not theirs

Thank you my handsome moonbeam, I come from a culture where the elders rule our destiny, since I have arrived in the USA, I have adopted to this culture and its way of thinking, my source of future was handpicked for me many years ago, I am just here hoping I can fulfil the prophesy, if that makes any sense to you, and thank you for reading and then commenting. Do have a great evening handsome one

Culture can be stifling especially when traditions dictates the road ahead, the past is the chains that hold you back, the future is the wings that carry to your happiness

Re. I'm So Unsure
The first day at something new can be overwhelming. Sounds like an early case of the jitters. Give it a few days, I bet you will find it a fitting extension/complement to your current position. I believe you are quite capable of this, and may in fact grow to enjoy the marathon of the mind. Rooting for you.

Just wanted to lend some friendly support. It takes courage to step out of the comfort zone to enhance learning. But I sense you are more than capable of tackling this.

My pleasure. I do believe our best course of action is to encourage others with positive thought. Good call on the fruitcake, I seem to have more of a penchant for pie. ;)

Most students in many vocations get this first day nerves as the reality of where they are kicks in after the excitement of anticipating the rewards and kudos the qualification could get them. I remember one of my clergymen contacts (now retired from full time Church of England ministry) who openly told that he felt he had made a mistake in his first week at theology college. I would say, approach this course as I am sure you have approached training for your past marathons - one step at a time girl and (do as I do) put all you go through into God's hands, as you have done here. You may get to make friends among your fellow students that you might be able to buddy with.

Being filled with musical references a song comes to mind:
Nothing Gonna Break My Faith- Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige

Thank you handsome one for the words of encouragement, and that goes double for reading. Enjoy your day as well love
Re. I'm So Unsure
The only failure you encounter in life is not trying. You give your all baby girl and ride that horse out. You can break it. If not you stepped up and tryed when many wouldn't. I'd stay and say more but going to be with a friend of mines family. Prayers for them please.
