With Imagination

I made it through my first year of nursing school !!! And I am officially a SENIOR in college. I have waited for the day that I could say that. And I will be awaiting the day of graduation. 2 more semesters and a few licensing exams and I will be a RN-BSN. Tomorrow I start summer school with Pediatrics and I will be doing my clinical rotation at Texas Children's Hospital and I am very excited. This class is going to be a 5 week whirlwind but I think I can do it.

In lieu of starting my senior year of college today's song is With Imagination by Harry Connick Jr. This song is going to be my theme song for the next 2 semesters. I've been through a lot, more than you could ever know. But I have set a goal and have my future to look forward to. And with imagination and hard work, I will get there. Some days I don't know how I continue on but I always manage to find the strength to fight another day. My favorite words of this song are, " I started with a dream but came to a decision. I started with a dream but now I have a mission. I have a goal to see beyond my vision and with imagination I'll get there." I want to reach my career goal and become a nurse. And I want to see beyond what even I believe is possible for me and my future. So here is a song to encourage all my fellow UTMB nursing students. Hang in there we will make it !!

"I've traveled many a mile and haven't found a home.
I've traveled many a mile and one seed's unsoiled.
I'll travel another mile 'till I find my own.
With imagination, I'll get there.

I started with a dream but came to a decision.
I started with a dream but now I have a mission.
I have a goal to see beyond my vision.
With imagination, I'll get there.

I've got to be strong to climb the next hill.
I've got to be strong, my fate to fulfill.
And from a strength, stronger than my will
With imagination, I'll get there.

In my Father's house, no harsh words are spoken
In my Father's house, no vows are broken.
In a holy place, my soul like beams open
With imagination, I'll get there.

When weary is your world, go and spin another.
When weary is your world, there's Heaven to discover.
Here on Earth, we're sister and brother.
With imagination, I'll get there.

And if I stand alone, then to my cause I'm loyal.
If I stand alone, either common or royal,
I'm not afraid to cross the sea of toil.
With imagination, I'll get there."
