For some college students, deciding on a major can be a difficult task, but for sophomore Angie Abraham it came to her in a dream.

Abraham came to California State University, Fresno to study physical therapy, but in her first semester her life changed. Abraham’s mother became ill and then passed away.

One night she had a dream about talking to her mother. Abraham wanted to make sure that her mother would be proud of her if she was to become a physical therapist. In the dream, Abraham’s mother said she wanted Abraham to change her major to nursing. Abraham now takes classes to become a nurse. Her mother was a registered nurse for 20 years.

The hard schedule of nursing doesn’t stop Abraham from having a social life. This semester, she rushed and joined Kappa Alpha Theta. Abraham wanted to have a close group of friends that she could depend on. She hopes to move into the house next fall.
