The most important role models in my life are my mother and father. They are always here for me no matter what. They do not judge me and support my choices no matter the situation; they taught me everything I know.

My mother inspires me to want to be successful. She is a registered nurse and has been for 24 years. I want to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse as well.

Some people get into nursing for all the wrong reasons; one reason may be that they get into it just for the money. This is not the case with my mother: she genuinely loves helping people and saving lives.

She always wants to learn more and better herself in her career.

My father is my role model too because even with his dad dying his senior year of high school, he still worked hard and got to where he is now. He is a software analyst for a company and is very good at his job; he is the one that people go to for answers to their questions.

When I am older, I want to be able to support a family like my parents support my brother and I. We have never once struggled, and I have gotten a good education since pre-kindergarten.

They are letting me go to the college of my dreams, even though it is a little bit expensive. They have always wanted what is best for me.

I remember my mother telling me that she looked at a bunch of elementary schools and at one of the ones she looked at she thought the people were rude. So she placed me into an amazing elementary school that I love to this day.

Again, when we were looking at high schools, my parents talked to our neighbors and found out about vocational technical schools. I went to Hodgson Vo-Tech High School and set my foundation for my nursing career.

The moral of the story is that my parents are amazing, and I love them to death. I know I have a good head on my shoulders because of them.

I am who I am today because of them.

Mom and dad, you have always been here for me, and I am so lucky to have a support system like you two in my life.

Mom, when I was diagnosed with anxiety you laid by my side every night while I had panic attacks. You are always concerned with my brother's and my health even if it is just a little thing like scraping a knee.

You even told me you would get a heart monitor for me when I thought I had a heart problem, but it was really just anxiety.

Dad, I know you want to give me more than you had as a child, and I want you to know that you have succeeded in doing so. You always made sure I was okay, and you always gave me advice when I needed it.

I love you both so much there aren't even words to describe it.

Thank you Mom and Dad, for always being there when I needed you.

Thank you for raising me right and teaching me right from wrong.

Most of all, thank you for loving me unconditionally and helping me make the right choices. I hope you both know how amazing you truly are.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
