I would advocate for the elderly with our authorities and I would request a budget to build a clinic to provide preventive health care services for them. I would designate a budget to build a nursing home for the elderly that do not have a place to

    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field.

Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…

As I grew older, I started to further understand more than the picture my imagination painted as a child.…

    Most of the motivational or inspirational speeches or success stories often speak about finding a sense of purpose, exploring the horizon, and finding a way to give back. Speakers would say things like “Learn to bring the greatness within” or “Go and make a difference” or “Be an inspiration to somebody else.” Hearing these words makes me strongly believe that people exist because they all serve a purpose to mankind.

With this in mind, “no man is an island” truly; however, there are still some who exist in believing that they are capable of living alone and do things that are selfish rather than selfless.…
