00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.
00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.
00:11Well, it is First Responder Friday. We have Thomas on the phone who is honoring his wife, Sherry.
00:16Good morning, Thomas. How are you?
00:18Good. I'm on my way to work myself.
00:20All right. Very nice. So this is very interesting. Sherry is an RN. Is that correct?
00:25Yes, she is.
00:26And she kind of started this a little bit later in life, right? Tell me about that.
00:29Yeah. About 10 years ago, she came to me and said, I'm bored with my job now. I want to become a nurse.
00:36So she started the whole journey of going to school. She had to do all her core requirements.
00:43So she went back to St. P. College, got that all knocked out, and then went to Galen and did about a year and a half there and got her RN and then started working at Largo Medical about five years ago.
00:57Wow. And you said she came to you and said, hey, I want to be a nurse. What do you think that calling was?
01:01I mean, obviously, you said she was working another job and was in a different career. What made her have that switch?
01:07She did hair and taught hair for about 15 years. And she was used to being around people, and she just likes helping people. And she just decided, you know, I want to do something different with my life. And I've had enough. The kids are getting old enough where I can do a change. And we're able to do it.
01:26Wow. I love that because so many people are so afraid to start over and do something new when they're older in life, especially after their kids are grown. That's usually the time you're like, I'm going to kick back now and put my feet up.
01:37But she, like, jumped in and just went hard, it seems like, going to school and everything. Good for her.
01:44Yeah. And then late last year, she got her bachelor's.
01:47Oh, my gosh.
01:48She's a very driven woman, it sounds like.
01:50Once she makes up her mind, she gets something done.
01:54Well, I'm glad you let us know about Sherry, because this is pretty incredible.
01:58And I love the fact that she, you know, felt a calling, no matter when it was in her life.
02:02And she says, you know what, I'm going to go do this. She did it.
02:05And we're so thankful for Sherry and her service as an RN to our community.
02:08And we want to do this. We want to give you a $100 Visa gift card from our friends at Crown Buick GMC.
02:13And another $100 Visa gift card from our friends at Demesman and Dover.
02:17A small way for us to say thank you to Sherry.
02:19Thank you, guys, very much.
02:21Absolutely, Thomas.
02:22Shout out her, where she works again. You said Largo?
02:25Yeah, she's at Largo Medical.
02:27Largo Medical. All right, Sherry.
02:29Thank you, Sherry. And thank you, Thomas.
