July 5th-7th, 2023

During these three days, I had several phone calls and emails with the nursing staff, client experience team, and even the training team. I was so grateful for these calls and emails, as this was just their way of getting to know me as an incoming student. After each call and email, I kept having this feeling of, holy crap, this is actually happening. I particularly remember tapping @shelbi_nichole on the shoulder during the NFB banquet, to ask her if she knew someone that I had just gotten an email from. When I told her his name she said, “He’s amazing, is that your instructor?” I proceeded to say “yes, I think so.” Her later response was, “You are in amazing hands, don’t mess it up.” What she really meant was “Get on that plane to NY on Sunday and do not chicken out because if you do, you’ll regret it.”
