1. What emphasis do work, study and family life have in your country or in your culture? Which of the 3 is most important in your country or in your culture?
I feel like the importance and emphasis on work, study and family life are different for every individual in my country, as the USA is so diverse. Work ethic has a lot to do with how a person was raised and the ambition they have in life.

The only pushback that I receive comes from my "husband" who was there when I put myself through school to become a medical assistant and was a full time student, but wasn 't around when I graduated high school and had the ambitions to go to school for graphic design. He sees this as a crazy career change and feels like, if I 'm doing so great in the medical field why would I want to change careers all of a sudden? The answer is because currently going back to school to become an RN is unobtainable while trying to support a family of five and this is what I 've always wanted to do. I would love to mesh the two together and do something with the knowledge I obtain here at UoPeople and the knowledge and skills I have in the medical

My family spent countless hours in the hospital, nursing home, and various doctors ' offices trying to learn what had happened to this man who was our pillar of strength.

    Dear Carolyn Boles Scholarship Committee, I have had a great first semester in college full of learning and meeting new people. I studied extremely hard the entire semester and was determined to get the best grades possible. My favorite class was psychology and I received a very good grade in the class, so I was asked to become a mentor for the class next school year. I also decided to work toward receiving a minor in health psychology because I loved the class so much. In another one of my classes, we learned about different health field careers in order to decide if nursing was right for us since it is such a competitive major at IUPUI.…

    After working as a computer programmer for 13 years, I found myself without a job when I was laid off as jobs were outsourced to countries outside of the United States.

Although there have been nights with little sleep, tears, and many meals of scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, or cold cereal, I have never regretted going back.…
