A person such as myself is best suited for a career in Nursing because I am an individual that has experienced first-hand much pain and suffering throughout my life. In the face of adversity, I have risen above and wish to use my experience to care for society. I will also continue to aid in community service through health care volunteer work. One of my many goals includes being a part in some way of cancer research projects, blood donation drives, and organ donations.

My future plans revolve around my commitment to the field of Nursing
