I'm in!!!!!

I did it! I FINALLY got my letter of acceptance into the Cardiac Ultrasound program at Weber State. I can't express how grateful I am for getting into this program. I have been stressed out of my mind for months now so this is a huge relief to finally know. I'll be doing my clinicals at Mckay Dee Hospital and I'm so excited to work with the great people in the Heart Institute. For those of you who don't know, my Dad is my inspiration for pursuing a career in Echocardiography. He did echos for 14 years before he passed away a lil over a year ago. He loved his job and always gave nothing but his very best. He worked hard so he could play harder with his family. This has been such an emotional week for me knowing that I have some HUGE shoes to fill. I know that you'll be guiding me through this program and I promise I will work my very hardest to make you proud Dad. I won't let you down. Thank you for teaching me the value of hard work and really loving life. I love you, you are my hero. :)
