Hello all, I am currently, in theory, a first year college student. I have a few issues and questions that hopefully someone here can help me out with. So let me start off by giving a little background info on me and why I am here. I have been going, off and on, to a community college for two years. Due to personal and family illnesses I was only able to finish one semester and I did not make very good grades. The other 2 semesters I either had withdrawals or fails(not but a few) because they did not withdrawal me from the classes.
However, this was over a year ago and I did not have a plan. I didn't even have a major decided on. I have now switched to a different college, received financial aid which I've never had, illness is no longer an issue, and I have decided to pursue nursing(BSN), and then medical school after. I get to start over from scratch with my GPA, and there is a new found light in my life to better myself. I have always had a passion for medicine and helping others, but I never thought I had the ability to achieve anything with it even though I always had great grades in school and understood science very well. Both my mother and grandmother have cancer and being in the hospital with them and seeing how amazing the nurses and doctors are have made me realize that I was meant to do the same. I can't imagine doing anything now.
So basically my question is, can I recover from this enough if I make straight A's and keep my GPA above a 3.5? Will I have a chance at medical school if I do? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
