My Introduction

Hi everyone. My name is Krystie. I am twenty years old. I have a identical twin sister. Her name is Nicole. We are what some people would call "miracle babies", because we were born eight weeks early, on July 4th. Since I only weighed 2Ibs 3oz, and my sister only weighed 2Ibs 12oz, we had to stay in the NICU for six weeks.
I am majoring in nursing and have already finished my minor in music. Music has been a big part of my life every since 5th grade, when I joined the band at school playing clarinet. In 8th grade I switched instruments and began playing the tenor saxophone, which I now consider my main instrument. I was in the concert band and wind symphony at Wayne for four semesters. Since I now have to take many pre-req courses for my nursing major, which are very demanding and time consuming, I was unable to be in the bands this year. I will hopefully be starting the nursing program at Wayne in the fall.
Along with going to school full time I also have two part-time jobs. I work at an assisted living as a medication technician and caregiver two days a week, the afternoon shift from 3pm-11:30pm. I also work for a lady privately once a week for about eight hours. I do her grocery shooping, cleaning, laundry, and cooking. I really enjoy both of my jobs, because they involve being around and helping others. They have also taught me many skills, like patience, that will help me in my nursing career.
