Allison Says

This is my (abridged) story:

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I went to Winchester Thurston, a private K-12 school, graduated, and attended Smith College. During my third year, I managed to accelerate a semester. So, it was during my second to last semester (the end of my third year) that I found out that I was unexpectedly pregnant.

Alex was born in late August, ten days past his due date, and he is the love of my life. He is beautiful, charming, clever, and oh so sweet.

I live in Pittsburgh with my partner, Zach. He recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. He now works at Google Pittsburgh!

I have successfully finished my Smith degree! I’d like to enter nursing school in the fall of 2009. My fingers are crossed that I get into University of Pittsburgh for their accelerated second degree nursing program. In one year, I will complete my second Bachelors degree and be able to work as an R.N. Once I figure out what I want to specialize in (so far the contesters are Women’s Health, Midwifery, Pediatric and Neo-natal) I’ll go on to get my Masters in Nursing and become a Nurse Practitioner.
