First, I want to graduate from Eastern Michigan University with a BSN in nursing. Next, I will study in pursuance of passing the NCLEX exam in order to obtain a nursing license.

I love being around children and I am a very positive, energetic person so I believe I would really succeed at this type of occupation.
