    I aspire to gain professional experience in the field of nursing, because of personal experiences that have led me to select this career. My passion for care-taking within the nursing realm stems from a passion at young age to render aid and experiences very dear to my heart. My care-taking skills began while I was caring for children at church, as an assistant to both the Children’s and Youth Department. When a child would arrive ill, I would make sure that little contact was made with other children to contain the illness. I also made sure the child would wash their hands thoroughly before consuming meals and would take an additional precaution of washing down tables and toys to diminish the spread of germs.…

    I have always had a certain obsession with organizing. Arranging important documents into vanilla folders and double-checking labels to make sure I filed them correctly. For example, I would chronologically sort the memories of a bad college relationship into mental file cabinets “2006, 2007, and 2009,” in cerebral folders “R,” respectively. Maybe “R” stood for “reasoning.” According to me, there was no other effective way to deal with life.…

    During my time in college, I struggled in courses unrelated to my major and earned grades of C’s and D’s. During my freshman year, in my attempt to please my parents and peruse a career in nursing, I earned two D’s while taking the prerequisites needed to apply to nursing school. After my less than stellar performance in those courses, I decided not to pursue a career in medicine. Not following the career path my parents prescribed left me directionless, and unsure of the courses to take, and the career to puruse. I wish I had sought help and advice from my peers, professors, and the administration to guide me in my decisions regarding my coursework and major.…
