My One Word and my blog of the week

I'm sad that I missed my Motivational Monday post this week, I really could've used it. 

It was a long week. I had my first two exams this week and I also had training for my job for 8 hours a day for 3 days. I got a 78% on my CHA 2 test (which is failing) and an 88% on my Management test. I was very distraught obviously, but I know that once this training for work is over I will have so much more time to study. Plus, I didn't go with my first answer and my instinct so it was my own fault. Hopefully I can do better next week.

It only took me until the end of January, but I FINALLY decided on my One Word for 2014. Last year, my word was FOCUS. I wanted to focus in order to bring myself to where I am in life at this moment, and I definitely was successful at that! Now I need to step it up and accomplish even MORE. So, my word for 2014 is ...

dil·i·gence¹

ˈdiləjəns/

noun

noun: diligence

1. 1.

   careful and persistent work or effort.

   synonyms:

   conscientiousness, assiduousness, assiduity, hard work, application,concentration, effort, care, industriousness, rigor, meticulousness,thoroughness; More

I will work diligently to accomplish all of my goals for this year, mainly graduating in May, passing the NCLEX (boards), and getting a job as an RN. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
