What's up, everyone? Doctor zeeshan here, I want to
preface this episode by by letting you know the the
following story that you're going to hear is absolutely
inspirational. It's motivational, it will put
things into perspective. Hopefully, it does.
I never want you to give up and this is a prime example of that.
It's just, it's absolutely moving.
It's humbling, it's something that I had to share.
So, sit back, relax. And enjoy the story of our
wonderful nurse Rita. She's about to share a story
that I want every single person in here to pay attention to.
There is not one person that can make an excuse, there's not one
person that should feel defeated.
There's not one person that should ever give up after
hearing this story. Yeah, grab your Kleenex box.
This is a true story. Dory.
Rita is my and I'm sorry, I'm going to say your age.
If that's okay, may I get permission, it's okay, I'm fine
because you look beautiful for how old you are.
Okay, all right. Read it is.
How old are you 68 years? Old. 68 years old Nursery de is
68 years old Nursery te. When did you start your journey?
How long ago? I started my journey like really
40 years ago but I have failed the first time because they had
a legs program which kind of, you know, it didn't really
instruct you to do anything. So I had transferred to
Maryville College in St. Louis, and I flunked out by one
and a tense point and 1987, but I went on and got my degree in
Psychology and then I transferred to Fairleigh
Dickinson University and Tina. Jersey and I graduated from
there and met of 91 with my Mason has 91.
So, exactly 30 years. Yes, Nursery te has been out of
school. Okay.
So that in and of itself, okay? Just, you know, the age is and
you look great and and you I do I would never guess that.
Okay, so kudos to you, please do share, what you're doing because
I want to age gracefully as well but but three, Thirty years
since you graduated, that is a record for me.
The ages of record for me. But us how many times did you
attempt this exam? 21 times when I pass?
It was my 22nd. It's 21 times, 21 times, and she
passed the 22nd time. Now, let me tell you the reader
reached out to to our program and they gave her My cell number
because of the story 21 times, 30 years out of school, okay?
Just put that in perspective and never give up Rita, you're
working two jobs, whilst the security guard and doing private
duty nursing. Yes.
Work. Seven days a week.
Two jobs you applied for a
credit card, which gives you a limit of how much $500 and what
did you spend? That $500 on Rita.
For 99 on the high-yield class. I didn't know this until I
talked to three days ago and I had no clue didn't know about
the scholarship. Didn't apply didn't ask for any
help when out there applied for credit card.
Luckily got approved for 500 dollars and use it all.
Got a dollar left, had a dollar left, not knowing how you're
going to pay it off at the end of the day.
I mean, realistically, you know, you had two jobs.
We've all been there and yes, that was but you had said
something. You said that when you have
heard me Teach was a youth, I think YouTube that you had seen
me on or what was it is staying on Facebook, YouTube and the
podcast. And I said to myself, you know
what that man knows what he's talking about.
He knows how to teach. And when, Heard you teach the
cardiovascular system. I could repeat it and I
understood what you were saying. And then, when you mentioned the
method, it was so funny to me. Because when I used to take
test, I will start at the bottom and go up because I would be so
bored because nothing really ever held my attention.
I think I was slightly add, and, and I really didn't know
organization. And structure, when I heard you,
you gave me structure and you gave Claire T and organization.
And I was like, you know what? When I heard you say, it's time
for you to invest in yourself, it's like, you know what, that's
what I'm taking out that credit card, and I'm going to do this.
I'm going to do exactly what he tells me.
The method ask graph and you world.
I had taken your world for about six years but I didn't know how
to utilize it until I heard you, you know, say how you use it and
I never knew ya never know. And and Rita How many questions
were you? I was 145.
And now, 145 and I must tell you this, I must tell you, this is
that I have a group. Well, a study group is Marie,
Sharon, Shelly, favor, and Ramona.
And everybody kept saying 75 and out.
So when I sat down there and it went past 75, I heard you say
dr. Z.
What am I freaking out about? Wouldn't freaking out about a
freaking thing. Okay.
I got up, went to the bathroom prayed, drink some water, kind
of exercise a little bit and then I got back in the game
baby. I got back in the game and, you
know, I thank and praise God for you.
You are a gift. You are cute.
Thank you. Thank you.
That really I mean, when I heard this story, I was I'm not going
to lie, I got goosebumps, I got chills I even teared up because
it was so special to me because what I told me to and read it
This is, I said this verbatim to you and I go because when we
talked on the phone, you were, you were like, well, I feel 21
times like that's kind of embarrassing and I was like, so
I fail to but we're here. And what I said to everyone is I
was I know what I told, redoubtable, I go read it, this
is special. This is special, because you
worked 30 years, arguably 40 getting into it.
You you were put down by people around you that I believe in you
but you still persevered, you work two jobs and pulled out a
credit card and Max get out without asking for any help.
You made it happen. You were in the August course.
Forget he hasn't been with me for a long time.
You were in the August course and made it.
Hello Marcus July August and you made it happen in two and a half
months and I said, Rita, you're sharing this Story.
I don't care what you have to say.
I'm forcing you to because this story is going to outlive both
of us. Yeah, this theory is going to
outlive both of us. If we are no longer hear, people
are going to hear this story. They're gonna remember the story
because we're posting it on podcasts on YouTube, on
Instagram, on Facebook. Because people need to hear
this, people need to hear this and, and it's life-changing.
You, you get to Start your dream.
Now he has staff and I thank God for that.
I really do. I thank God for that is because
I've always viewed myself as not being such a smart person.
But if a person told me how to do something out, I could do it,
you know? And I remember when I graduated
with my degree in Psych, and I was in the nursing program, this
doctor told me at my graduation, you will never, I mean, never
passed the boards and people don't.
Eli's how they Crush you with words - words.
And another person, not even two or three years ago told me, oh,
baby. I can't help you 20 years and
hung up the phone on me as like, you know what?
Lord, I Thank you for being a good god, anyhow.
In spite of it all and and what it looks like, when I heard you,
dr. Z, I knew that was.
I knew it was God because I understood your language and how
you It over, you know, you put it over, you know what you're
talking about. And when I'm man or woman knows
how to teach a person could get anything.
Absolutely. They can understand anything.
Absolutely. And I'm so glad and either you
didn't even check in you. You didn't you didn't you just
did it on your own you really did?
Well you gave me, you gave me. Yeah, you gave me the structure.
You gave me Darkness ation skills and so I just ran with
it. I couldn't do 40.
You know, four sets of 40, but I did 5 sets of 30, you know,
because I'm older. And I noticed that when I did
the 40's that when I went past 30, then I start decline
decline. And if I want you to find your
Rhythm, find your groove. Well, yeah, just as a recap, I
need to just reiterate. This Rita has had a 40 year
Journey, 30 years since you graduated 68 years, young, a
beautiful sea. Eight years old.
Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah. My apologies field. 21 times
were two jobs. One is the security guard took
out a took out a loan or credit card application which luckily
gave you a five hundred dollar limit and you Max it out on the
course and you're about to make that money back in a heartbeat.
You didn't even know about the scholarship.
Otherwise you probably would have gotten that knowing that
knowing the committee. But nonetheless, you were into
