– Thank you, Alex. Howdy, everyone. Choosing Casper College was about taking charge of my future, from enrolling in the High School Equivalency Program at just 17, to graduating with honors in Forensic Science, I had everything I needed to push myself further than I ever thought possible. Now, I’m pursuing nursing here in the hopes of becoming a forensic nurse. I’ve come to know Casper College as more than just a place for academics, it’s been a community for me. What truly made my time here special was the support I found. The small class sizes meant I could actually get to know my professors and ask questions without feeling intimidated. From fingerprinting to understanding the intricacies of the legal system, I knew I’d be prepared for my next step. Pursuing forensic nursing won’t be easy, but I know I’ll have support every step of the way. Whether that’s in the classroom, the sim center, or during hands-on clinicals, I know I’ll be able to count on my professors and peers to help guide me through the challenges of nursing school. The Forensic Science Program gave me a real taste of what it’s like to think on my feet and handle stressful situations, skills I know I’ll need in nursing. My professors always pushed me to go beyond what was expected, which helped me build the confidence I’ll need to face whatever comes next. As I look ahead, I’m excited to face these new challenges in the Nursing Program. I’m living proof that no matter where you start, with the support of a community like this one, anything is possible. And education is about more than just exams and textbooks, it’s about pursuing your dreams, but that’s enough about me. Back to you, Alex.
