It was a typical Friday, school was off and the temperature was at its highest. At times like this I would stay home to avoid the sun; however, my friends insisted that I must join them for a soccer game and so I did. We used a garage as our field and aligned a few cement bricks to form the goals which we then typically argue about how un-even the alignments were. The sun slowly faded away as night approached so I excused myself and retreated home fearing the consequences of being breaking curfew.

As a human being I am selfish, but as an individual I am caring. The opportunity of immigrating to the United States at the age of eleven to me was a life changing experiences. From learning a new language to viewing the marvelous sights of New York,

    Moving to the U.S was one of the many life changing experiences I have ever encountered. Some say that learning a completely different culture especially the language may be difficult, well, they were right! Coming to America did not only come with struggles, changes, and lessons, but it also brought blessings. I think that if you turn a situation around, for the better, you somehow become more optimistic about the situation itself. Talking about these attributes that came into my life will not only explain entirely where I come from, but really how each helped me become the person that I’m today.…

    As a military child, I left the United States with my family at the age of five and spent eight years living overseas at duty stations in Japan, Germany, and Italy. We traveled extensively during vacations to over 20 different countries. As a result, I claim proficiency in ordering french fries and apple juice in several different languages.

    The past two weeks I have worked at northshore maternity and national womens community midwives. During my week at northshore it was incredibly busy and understaffed. I also remember thinking at times, where has the midwifery gone? We were so busy rushing around trying to provide safe and quality care to the women, but that fact is I feel we were too busy, with too larger case loads to provide true midwifery care. I cared for many day 1-2 sections, women with large blood losses requiring blood transfusions, a secondary PP and there was a woman with confirmed H1N1 on the ward who was unstable – but HDU wouldn’t allow her to be transferred around, and many other complex situations that really challenged my competence, knowledge and practice reasoning.…

    As a young child who grew up in the countryside, I’ve always been surrounded by nature and animals. I was born and raised on my grandparent’s old dairy farm in Glenburn, North Dakota. My mother and I didn’t stay there for very long; we had to move often due to her job as a dental hygienist. It was difficult for me to leave all of the friends I made and transfer to new schools, but I adjusted to the new lifestyles fairly quickly once I got used to doing it numerous times. We stayed in an apartment in Fargo, North Dakota until I got into the third grade and then made our home in Wahpeton, North Dakota.…

He said, since my fingers hadn’t learned the difference yet that I might as well learn how to do it the correct way. This is because as I continue it will be easier to play, and will in the end, sound better. He always says that anybody can pick-up a guitar and learn how to play, but to become a musician it takes practice and dedication.…

    As a child, I was repeatedly reminded that I could achieve anything if I put enough effort into it. It was also during this time of crucial development I decided to never put more effort than necessary into anything. This worked well for me. I managed to do everything with minimal effort and still achieve the grades my sisters tried to study hours for. I had friends equally as smart as me using their capabilities to ace every subject while I was content with cruising along.…
