This is Gabriel. In a past life, I used to go by Billy, billybob, boogydownbill, etc… That life has passed long since; it didn’t go easy though. How do you rid yourself of a past identity? For me, it wasn’t as simple as changing my name, well partly, but it needed something else to accompany it… moving across this beautiful nation (physically beautiful). After a year at community college, I decided to move to CA with a best bud. Short on cash and lacking an objective, my time there was destructive and instructive, discouraging and encouraging. That experience pooped out part of what I am now, Gabriel. Due to some complication, I moved back to NC two years later.
Again, after another year of community college, I felt the urge to move! Almost three years later, I moved back from China determined to finish school. In between that time and up till now, I’ve kept moving when I can, Mexico, Cuba, Europe, etc… just to keep me sane. Why school? I still question that sometimes, but the thing that keeps me going is a dream that was born when I first moved to CA. I am determined to join Doctor’s Without Borders, though once I thought as a doctor, now as a nurse. As a nurse I can still provide the aid and comfort that is needed, that I want to give, but can still do the many, many other things I enjoy doing!
Look forward to YOU reading my post!
Ciao
