About (Summary)

My name is Christina Graham and I am a 32 year old married mother to four beautiful boys ages 15, 10, 4 and 2. I currently attend Georgia State University in hopes of earning my Bachelors degree in Nursing. Recently I had to step away from my position as an overnight PCT at my local hospital due to my battle with Multiple Sclerosis. I would work 12 hour overnight shifts so I could work and study while my kids went to school. I would also use time to invest in my education. However, something happened to me the very first time I experienced death as a healthcare worker. I noticed people really had no idea how to help others if it were ever necessary. I would commonly see people scream, cry, fight and even record someone in destress. I saw so much need to learn how I can immediately make a difference? Five weeks later a became a BLS / CPR / AED /FIRSTAID instructor for American Heart Association. My personal battle with MS has left a great deal of uncertainty in my life but if there is one thing I am certain about its that I will continue to save lives. I offer a very discounted rate for all essential workers. I even travel to personally teach classes. I am honored to be able to share this experience with my children and help my community as well. I dream to one day open a school where everyone no matter race, age, gender or experience will learn to save a life!

Hobbies

I love spending time with my children. My first and oldest son is 15 years old and I am able to walk him step by step as he plans for college. We have been discussing dual enrollment options. My second son is 10 and he is the sweetest and most considerate boy anyone could ask for. He loves to spend quality with his family. My third son is Autistic and he views the world very differently. His unique approach with life is truly special. Lastly, my last he's 2 years old and will not be left behind. He does everything he sees his brothers doing. He wants to go to school so bad. My health took a turn for the worse a few months ago and I was hospitalized for 5 days and it was scary. The reality that I could not be here for my family was horrifying. Today I am able to appreciate every single day with my kids and never take for granted the small things people often complain about. I may be in school to become a nurse but this is truly deeper for me as I learn how to live with MS.
