Everyone desires to be remembered when they are gone and am no exception. I would love special memories of me to linger in the minds and hearts of those I got to interact with during my lifetime.

Pursuing an associates degree in nursing without three children and a career is hard enough, so I can only imagine the stress this senior student is going through in the presented learning exercise. I believe the logical decision for this student is to quit her part time job so she can focus more on herself, her children, and schoolwork.
