Home More advice Jobs & Money

hello everyone! I hope someone can shed some light on my problem without judgement. I recently was convicted of a class B felony for drugs. I really have a passion for nursing and I know I made a mistake but it's always been my dream. it is the only charge I have ever had. another problem is I was sentenced to 5years felony probation. I recieved these charges because I thought I was in love and tried to protect my man (I know dumb choice) but I have always worked as a cna before this and I started going to college for LPN. I would do anything to be able to follow my dreams. is there still hope or should I just give it up? I don"t care if it takes years I will wait. I'm only 23 years old. I have a son and I want to have a career to take care of him. somebody please if you know anything to help me share it
