I know that I will be working towards a degree in nursing, but I still have yet to further narrow that field down to a specific job. However, I do have an interest in Pediatrics or ICU Nursing. I'm hoping that as I advance through the nursing program at ISU that I will develop a better idea of what career path I want to take. Besides my future in nursing, I also plan to have a minor in either English or Creative Writing to support my interest in said topic. While it won't directly help to support my intended major, it will be a strong asset for the future since it will allow me to better communicate with my patients and

    This summer, I worked as a JCIT at the BSAFE summer program. BSAFE is a summer program for kids from kindergarten to 5th grade, where they are taught school subjects and go on a field trip every day. A JCIT is a junior counselor-in-training, so my job was to assist the leader with the kids and clean and prepare activities for them. JCITs are closer in age to the kids, so they usually confided in us with their questions and concerns. Being a JCIT helped me gain a lot of patience and allowed me to learn to help with things even when I'm not directly asked to do so.…

    Leadership is imperative to supporting the foundation of succession in our society. It is important that we exercise our God given right to utilize our sphere of influence to the best of our abilities. Although leadership may gain you more recognition throughout society it is not about the affluence one can acquire; leading is solely about guiding others down a path of success so that future generations can more easily learn from our mistakes to pass down to the next generation. That is why I believe mentoring and any position of leadership should be central to young adults to set the example for the impactful youth. I found my sphere of influence to be within the academic driven chapter of the National Honor Society which in my senior year I was elected president.…
