Today, I finally walked across the stage, marking one of the final steps from nursing student to registered nurse. 🍾🩺🎓

I am grateful for the magnetic people I met along the way and for everyone who stood by me during my challenging nursing school journey.🩷

Celebrating our LAST DAY at SLCC ever!!🍾🩺🎓

05/07/2024

Tomorrow we take our LAST final. Next up: pinning, graduation, then NCLEX! I am overwhelmed with joy, relief, but also some saddness that this era of my life is coming to an end. I couldn't have made it this far without the wonderful support system that I was blessed by God to have. It may be small, but it is mighty.

Thank you first and foremost to my husband, Thad, who stood by my side and picked up the slack when all I could focus on was my studies. You comforted me through the tears and cheered for all my wins. I am one lucky girl to have such a wonderful man help take care of me, our children, and keep our household running while I was in school. Its your turn babe!😉

Thank you to Sarah for always being a light in my life and continually pointing me back to our savior, whom got us through this journey.

Thank you to my sister Ashley for always being my biggest cheerleader and an ear when I needed to vent.

Thank you Kim & Toni for always believing in me when I was younger and setting a foundation for my faith. It was a wonderful foundation I am so blessed to build on.

Thank you to my daddy, Tim Cossey, without him I wouldn't be who I am. I felt your presence watching over me throughout the whole program. You were my protector on Earth and now gaurdian angel in heaven.

To my grandmother, Gabby, Thank you for being a matriarch for our family and helping to pave the way for many generations. Papa, though you are not with us any more, you were sure to set up all your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for success. You showed us what it meant to be philatropists, entrepreneurs, and dream chasers.

Thank you Gaylin and Yohana for you presence throughout this journey. Your compassionate and loving nature's will make you wonderful nurses.

To the rest of my cohort... WOW it has been a whirlwind. I am overjoyed to be walking across that stage with you all. I cannot wait to see all the wonderful places you guys will go.

Last but not least, to all those who cheered me on and prayed for me throughout this journey, whether spoken or silent, I appreciate you more than you know it❤️

For my graduation cap, I wanted to honor two extraordinary individuals who have profoundly impacted my life. Firstly, my Aunt Susan, a compassionate nurse whose unwavering dedication has been a guiding light for me. She embodies resilience, kindness, and the beauty of selflessness. The monarch butterfly will forever remind me of her beauty and loving nature. Secondly, my late father, Tim Cossey, a remarkable police officer who served his community with valor and integrity. From his roles as chief, detective, to major, he exemplified heroism and placed the needs of others above his own. The marigold flower, symbolizing his birth month, serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy.

In reflecting on this journey, I am reminded of a verse from Colossians 3 that resonates deeply with me: "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." These words encapsulate the essence of my faith and the source of my strength. Learning to trust in His divine plan and to redirect my focus towards Him has been both liberating and comforting. Today, as I sat in church, the sermon on God's enduring comfort and grace during life's darkest moments reaffirmed my belief in His unwavering presence. In times of uncertainty, I find solace in His promises. He is ever faithful, never forsaking those who seek Him.

Above all else, I dedicate this achievement to Him. It is through His guidance, grace, and unending love that I stand here today, ready to embrace the journey ahead.
