Cum Laude
What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I’m definitely going to miss the sense of community I had in school, as well as the structured environment that provided support and guidance. And I look forward to the freedom and opportunities that come with entering the next phase of my life, starting my nursing career annd exploring new paths and adventures.
