The College of Nursing has a picture of each of its graduating classes on the wall. My younger sister, Katie, is in the picture from 2004. I stop and look at it every once in a while, and think about how proud of her I am. She really had a lot to do with my decision to become a nurse. And I think how great it will be when my picture is on that wall.

Then I remember I am in a weirdo accelerated program, and that my picture probably won't go on that wall. Whatever. If I have to, I'll print a photo of myself and tape it there.
