>> My name is Krystal Romero.
I am the secretary for the iFALCON club.
I am majoring in nursing.
I plan on transferring to UC Irvine, UCLA, and Cal State, Long Beach.
I'm here at Cerritos to help me prepare myself for university.
In high school I took a life skills class when I was in the ninth grade and I had to,
for an assignment, for a project, I had to pick a career that I was most interested in,
and I was interested in nursing, because my father's younger sister was a nurse,
so I was kind of instantly attracted to it, because I have always looked up to her.

Two years after the Life Skills Class, my mom had surgery,
and since I am the only girl I had took, I stepped in, and took the nursing role
because I am a girl, so it's expected of them, and I was willing to do it,
because I have always been kind of attracted to helping others,
when they can't physically help themselves.

This past semester I took a psychology class and it kind of, you know,
excited me with the major I want to be,
with the major I am most interested in, and it's Psychiatric Nursing.

The lead singer of Pink Floyd, he was, the original lead singer,
he started developing mental disorders, because he took drugs in the '60's.
He left the band or got kicked out of the band, and he just became like a recluse.
He erased himself from society and stuff so that kind of intrigued me.
I want to understand what goes on in the mind, and why can't people control their own minds
at times when they have mental disorder.
I am advancing my knowledge, I'm starting off here, and then kind of finishing it off in a,
hopefully, two- year university and becoming a psychiatric nurse.
I am pretty excited for my future.
