Job corps gave me the most exciting experience of my life because of the dormitory living. It makes me feel like I am in college. I have five roommates and a nice size bathroom with lockers to lock our things away. Job corps is really helpful as far as meeting new people and working to reach my goals.

    On February 4th and 5th I had an ICU rotation to 3 South at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital which is a surgical ICU unit. The unit I am usually on is 2900, which is a Cardiac ICU at the same Hospital. Both units being ICU, I wasn’t sure how much a difference there would be between the two. However, there was a big difference between the two ICUs. Of course some things were the same, such as the layout of the unit (the pods, computers, and medication rooms).…

    That, in turn, helps me grows as a person. There is little else that gives me more joy than leading discussions, presenting, and debating just about anything: our foreign policy and politics, the environment, the true nature of man, and even the (immense) value of the domesticated chicken. Furthermore, as a foster child, I have moved around a lot and have seen innumerable faces; as a result, unfamiliar and strange groups have been a part of my life for so long that I am comfortable with them. Getting along with others has been key to survive in high school; I have made amazing friends and acquaintances as a result of that. With all of those qualities in mind, I believe I could contribute to the Girls’ State program by offering my quirky personality and devotion to my country to meet new people and get engaged with our government.…

    I am Daphne Williams, I'm originally from a small town near Pensacola, FL where growing up my parents pushed to work hard and do right by my elders. I never thought going to school to further my studies would be an option being that it wasn’t enforced in my household growing up.

At the time of joining the service I realized I wanted to be capable of doing so much more but had little or no direction as to what I wanted to do exactly. After completion of my first two years in the service I hated it until I crossed paths with a great leader while deployed in Afghanistan.…
