Richard: At the beginning of this year Richard worked as a teaching assistant at the local elementary school in Harrisonburg. Richard helped 4th graders with special needs during their school day routines. The job was tough at times, but he really enjoyed learning with and from the students! Over the summer he was a busy bee – working 2 jobs. In August he found out that he was accepted into James Madison University’s Speech and Language Pathology program!
Sam: This year Sam was accepted in the James Madison University’s Nursing Program! She began in August a little nervous, but mostly excited! Although this semester was one of her hardest she did prevail and still amazingly wants to be a nurse ;). She made a lot of new friends through the program and is extremely grateful for her nursing family. Over the Summer Sam worked at a local group home for individuals with intellectual disabilities and gained a newfound love for that population of people. Because of her time at the group home, Sam is now interested in psychiatric nursing care. Sam looks forward to her 2nd semester as a nursing student and could not be more thrilled to learn about psychiatric nursing, women’s health, and the arts and science of nursing!
From our family to yours, may you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Love,
Sam & Richard
