    For five years, I went to the Boys and Girls Club during the summer, and once a week we would visit the retirement homes to play bingo and conversate with the elderly residents. Unlike many of the other kids, I was more fascinated with watching the interaction between the nurses and their patients rather than playing games. I watched as the nurses would walk over to patients, adjust their blankets, and pillows as they showed so much compassion. I remember that day so vividly watching the nurses care for others so generously as if it was first nature and I looked at them with the utmost respect. Since that day, I have aspired to be a nurse and to care for others because, at the end of the day, that could be me, or a loved one, you never know…

I can feel once more the burning pain of impotence scorching every single cell of my body, and my mind crying out in a horrendously tortured voice go, move, do something that almost drove me into insanity; the anger that almost drowned me strangling the air out of my lungs holding me in place. It was not that I did not want to, my whole being wanted to act, and I just did not know what to do. Nurses rushed in screaming out foreign things I did understand then, that I did not comprehend. Fifteen minutes full of excruciating torture.…
