How i lost my passion for Medical Assistant but gained a new one

Back in 2011 I decided to sign up for Medical Assistant class. In the beginning I was nervous because I had no idea what I was doing. The only thing I knew how to do was the blood pressure thing. It was already week 6 and I did not know how to do an intramuscular injection or a subcutaneous injection heck I did not even know how to draw blood. But with help from classmates I learned the injections, the weight and how to do an EKG. Already 10 weeks in the class and my passion for medical assisting started to grow. More than anything I wanted to help people. Even though I wasn't doing so good on the tests I still dedicated myself to the career of wanting to help people it was a high passion. Every time that a new student would walk in, I would take the pleasure of helping the new students and teaching them the ropes and some of the students they would look scared and I would be thinking "hey I went through the same thing". But for some reason it was also hard to be in the class you know I mean I had this defensive attitude, one day the teacher literally yelled at me and I went to the restroom and started crying, I realized that what he said was true. I don't really know why I am the way that I am, maybe its because I've never felt accepted, anyway the class was soon coming to an end and I knew that after that would come the externship where I would have to apply all the skills that I learned in class and put them into practice at the clinic. 3 weeks after the class was over I found an externship site. But me arriving at the clinic was not a good experience. The doctor would snap her fingers at me rather than call my name, the boss would treat me like crap and to top it off the one who hires told me that they don't hire externs at their clinic, this is where I started to feel the pressure. When I got there I did now know how to do the blood pressure I would get it wrong and I did not know anything about the weight scale, but during the 2nd week I learned the ropes. When the lady told me that they did not hire externs I literally felt like crying, sometimes in the clinic I would feel the impatience of the patients and they would come back and forth asking when I would see them. It was really stressful and then the nurses in the labs would tell me "hey you should be a registered nurse". Once I finished my externship, my next step was to go to medical terminology class and typing class. But as I started going to medical terminology I realized that my passion for medical assisting was beginning to fade away. I don't know if it was the experience that I lived in the clinic while I was doing the externship or simply I lost the interest in this. But the question is: how is it that I lost my passion for medical assistant but gained a new one in the process" In the summer of 2012 I started spending time with my camera and the year passed and as 2012 and 2013 passed I realized that my true and highest passion in life was photography. It was staring at the me in the face all the while and I did not realize it. Now this year I will sign up and get my bachelor's degree in photography. The advice that I can give to people is to follow your dreams and don't let people tell you what you need to be. To this day it still bugs me that people tell me "u should be a nurse" sometimes I feel like shutting them up. Follow your passion in life and live your dreams with intensity and make them a reality!

December trip: Las Vegas

Hello my readers my topic this week is all about my December vacation trip with my parents and the mishap that happened in the process. While I was nervous in the beginning because I had not gotten on a plane for 9 years I was actually happy because mom was not working she got fired from her job and to me that is a blessing for years I did not have enough guidance from mom but now I have a lot of guidance but anyway back to the trip. The trip was a amazing experience, but the mishaps began at the airport when the security lady took my lotions away from me and my body spray. And not only that but I almost lost my id and my boarding pass. When I got on the plane I was a nervous wreck but once were on up in the air the nervousness left and I was happy when we got to Las Vegas. That is where the other mishap occurred. After getting our luggage from baggage claim at McCarran International Airport we took a cab and we told him to drop us off at the Excalibur. The happiness was short lived however when we realized that we had left our carry on in the trunk of the cab and he left. Mom was pretty mad because in the carry on she had her face cream. So while mom was resting at the hotel Dad and I went to the security guy at the hotel and we explained the situation. After we played for a while, mom woke up and then I joined her to which I ended up falling asleep at 6 in the morning. The next day which was a Friday was a blast because the previous day I had told mom that dad and I saw a Ross store to which she became happy. Friday she did shopping but mom being mom she ended up returning most of the clothes that she bought. That Friday night I told my parents I was going to explore the hotel and explore the hotel's sisters: The Mandalay Bay and the Luxor. When I went to the Luxor I discovered that they have bodies: the exhibition that is one place I do not want to go. However I do want to go to Titanic the exhibition this time that we go I will definitely go. From 11:30pm to 2:00am I was at those hotels exploring. Then when I was on my way back I decided to buy mom  McCafe frappe mocha with whip cream. On Sunday morning we went walking from the Excalibur to the Riviera hotel. Basically we went from the strip to old Las Vegas and mom was happy because along the way mom found another Ross. But mom was clearly still upset because she had lost her lotions and then something incredible happened. That Sunday night I was checking my mom's email and it turns out they had sent us an email from the cab company saying that they had found our carry on. Immediately I sent her a reply saying that we were going to go on Monday to pick it up, so I left her my phone number. The one thing that saved us was that a day before we travelled I had sent my sister from my mom's email the bar code scanner so we could scan our boarding pass. The next day we went to the cab company, and after retrieving our carry on and the cab dropping us off at the hotel I asked mom if we were not forgetting anything, I was already traumatized by what had happened. The rest of the trip was wonderful, mom wasn't mad and everything was finally falling into place. Mom bought stuff at Walgreens. Perhaps one of the best parts about going to Las Vegas was that I finally go to visit the Aria. It is the most beautiful hotel ever. I took a lot of pictures and I put it on my instagram account and my twitter. Sadly Tuesday had arrived and I knew that on Wednesday December 25th we were going to return to Long Beach. But a day before (Tuesday) mom being mom returned all the things she had bought at walgreens and in the process I bought my niece and nephew a teddy bear. Originally we were supposed to be in bed at 10 that way we can get sleep, instead we were in the slot machines till 4:45 am and we woke up at 6:00am showered and packed, and while mom and dad were checking out I was watching the Disney parks parade. While I was sad because I was leaving Las Vegas and leaving my favorite hotel I was actually quite happy because I was finally going to go home and sleep in my bed. We got to the airport and luckily this time I did not almost forget my boarding pass. We ate burger king and we waited for our plane to arrive. We left McCarran International Airport at 2:45 and arrived in Long Beach at 3:30pm. Overall the vacation was amazing we slept at whatever time we wanted, example we would sleep at 10pm and wake up at 3am to go play and we would wake up at whatever time we wanted you know, no pressure. Flying in JetBlue was amazing, they have wonderful service and they are really amiable, I cannot wait to go back!

GH February sweeps review

This February marked the end of Robert Scorpio, the announcement that Liesl Obrecht is the new chief of staff, Patrick learning that he and not Carlos is the father of Sabrina's baby, Franco finding and rescuing Carly only to be shot by heather and left in the hospital fighting for his life, Kiki helping Franco escape and Michael yelling at her, Silas getting arrested, Julian and Ava turning on each other and AJ trying to figure out who really killed Connie. Though we all know that Heather had Carly the inepts of the PCPD arrested Franco for "murdering" Carly. Knowing that he had little time to save Carly, Kiki helped him escape only for her to land in jail. When he arrived at the gravesite he put two and two together and realized that Heather had survived being stabbed by him ( in Carly's words " he should have made sure you were dead"). Knowing that nobody wants to help him he decides to go to his father D.A Scott Baldwin. When he encountered the kids, Franco learned where Carly was at: Wyndemere in the Catacombs. With time running out he arrived just in time to be reunited with Carly. After nearly a month without seeing each other Franco and Carly shared a hug, but it was short lived when Heather arrived. Franco reprimanded her and she shot him in turn. Franco and Carly were rescued by Anna and Nathan where they tell each other "I love you." Meanwhile in another part of Port Charles, Sabrina finally told Patrick the truth that he was the father of the baby that she is carrying, though Patrick said he was going to be there for all the appointments he didn't make it to the first one because he was busy fighting with Robin. Silas is sure that he is being framed but nobody believes him in the end because of lack of evidence they release him. Ava decided to turn against Julian by handing Sonny a flash drive that contained all of Julian's businesses. As he is getting closer to the truth when he starts drinking A.J is beginning to solve the pieces of the puzzle the fateful night that Connie was murdered. As he has a vision of her in the grave Connie tells him that all of his memories are locked in his brain he just needs to unlock it. A.J will stop at nothing to prove his innocence and prove that Ava is the real killer. Somewhere in General Hospital everyone is shocked when Liesl Obrecht is hired as the new chief of staff, from then Frau Doktor has taken control over everyone at GH. And Franco finally fought his way back to Carly where they cuddled and fell asleep. But what is coming up on GH? With Robin leaving will Patrick and Sabrina end up together again or will Patrick leave Sabrina by herself to raise the baby? Will Ava finally be unmasked as Connie's murderer? Will Silas finally find out who is trying to frame him? And as her maternity leave comes close will Sabrina go to Puerto Rico with her cousin Juan? Or will she become the next victim of Frau Doktor's crazy schemes and be kidnapped? All these and more burning questions on General Hospital weekdays on ABC

The Biggest Loser winner and Controversy

This Tuesday, The Biggest Loser came to a close where the final three contestants faced the scale. Ruben performed his new song on the show and it was a beautiful inspirational song. But despite the happiness that Rachel Frederickson is the winner of the show, the controversy has spiked up. Viewers and trainers Bob and Jillian were shocked when they saw Rachel's "skinny" look. At the winning moment Rachel dropped from 260 pounds to 105 pounds losing 59.65%. The moment she came out to reveal herself twitter exploded with negative comments towards Rachel saying that she is anorexic. In my opinion she does not look anorexic the lovely Kelly Monaco from abc's general hospital weighs only 96 pounds. Back to the controversy the next day Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels took to Facebook and said that they congratulated the contestants for their amazing journey but that they have nothing to do with Rachel because they were not her trainers. After this post on FB fans of the biggest loser had an angry rage towards Bob And Jillian claiming that they wanted to throw Dolvett Quince, Rachel's trainer under the bus. Still David and Ruben are one of the many people that support Rachel saying that she looks fine. Congratulations Rachel for becoming The Biggest Loser she had it from the day that she came to the ranch. Check out Bob Harper for expressing his "concern" for Rachel, on the Rachael Ray show on February 13.

Makeover week on The Biggest Loser

The week that everyone waits for was finally here, makeover week. All the remaining contestants are happy that they made it to that week. Rachel confesses that she wore a black dress to a german prom but after she gained the weight she felt embarrassed, when she came out with a dress she looked stunningly beautiful. Rachel got the surprise of her life when she saw her parents flew in to see her, it was truly an emotional time for Rachel. Bobby is a lawyer who confessed that his pants split in the middle because of his weight, the result was amazingly spectacular he looked good in a blazer. Tanya one of my favorite contestants looked beautiful she got a beautiful a haircut and looked gorgeous in the red dress that she was wearing. Marie went from being long hair to short hair I loved it. Next was Jennifer she went from blonde to red and looked stunning. But the most emotional moment for me was David a 43 year old from Oklahoma who after losing his wife to cancer made her a promise to look after his girls. The emotional reunion between his three daughters and his new wife made me cry a lot. Even though its makeover week the contestants still have to work out. The next day the remaining contestants enter the gym and see their trainers Bob, Dolvett and Jillian waiting for them. Last chance workout goes great but each contestant has to worry about the red line because the two contestants who fall below the red line will be automatically eliminated. The end result Rachel, Bobby, David, Jennifer and Chelsea are the remaining contestants, while Tanya and Marie fall below the red line and are both eliminated. Marie says she's happy because she is finally going home to be with her husband, while Tanya says that the next time Dolvett sees her he will be the one crushing on her. Next week only Two will make it to the live finale and the two that fall below the red line will be eliminated. With just one episode left till the live finale the contestants compete in the triathlon the person with the highest percentage of weight loss will automatically earn a spot in the finals. In the live finale the contestants will face the scale one last time and the contestant with the highest percentage of weight loss will win a quarter of a million dollars and the title of the biggest loser.
