Mo Garcia had me wrapped around his finger, applauding and
devouring every inch of enthusiasm that he bravely delivered. Oh, Mo. You’ve
got me reflecting more than I can handle; roller-skating and summer salting over
every minor hurdle that shadows a mountain, leaping around with a big grin at
all the possibilities. I accomplished something BIG thanks to Mo. In fact, I
think I may need to write him. I’ve been warped into thinking that my passion
for writing should be buried because I’ll never put bread on the table and I’ll
never reach my true potential. Instead, I should wear a white lab coat and be
content within the confines of white walls and blood splatters. As I’ve gotten closer
to graduating and entering the nursing program, I’ve felt it all become really
surreal and I’ve been severely struggling with the idea that I’m betraying myself.
Who I am today is a direct reflection of how I deal with my struggles and joy,
and that’s shaped me into somebody who believes she can grow wings and shade
the rest of the world from losing sight of their potential. I WANT to help
people; whether that’s through nursing or writing, I’ve just got to leave some kind
of foot print that makes others smile or think or feel. It will happen! Mo
suggested that making your passion your work was ideal and spoke volumes to his
happiness now. I’m just petrified I might have too many passions, and run
around in too many circles and lose all time to accomplish any one thing. But,
I’d really like to taste every road for at least a second, so hopefully that
fills my belly up just fine. Thanks, Mo. You’ve gotten me out of this rut! I’m
no longer a prisoner to the idea that there’s only one career/passion for me. I’ve
got a bigger eye for better things thanks to you!
