I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter

I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard.
