Personal Experience Essay

Throughout my life I have experienced many traumatic events that have shaped me as an adult. Many of my experiences as a child have influenced my career choice as well. I want to become a nurse and continue helping people through many different life problems. I feel I have become more conscientious to responding to people in pain because of my various traumatic childhood experiences. When people are in need I find myself coming to their side to help and assist them with whatever is affecting them. I can relate to others pain because I too have gone through many painful endeavours in life. I was born with a severe case of club feet. It is an ankle deformity that in extreme cases can inhibit you from walking. As a child, I was in and out of Gillette 's Children’s Hospital, from surgery to physical therapy I have experienced it all. Not just that, but in fourth grade I broke my femur.

I have had a near death experience, but I have also heard many stories about near death. Death comes to anybody and everybody, no matter the time. When your death chance may come nobody knows when and where it will happen. Throughout the stories I have heard, nobody knows that it is coming until it's too late. Everybody has said throughout their experiences that after they almost died their priorities change. When I was in a car accident my priorities changed such as I used to only think…

I find myself becoming increasingly unsure about my life every day I go to work. I feel myself stagnating. I no longer enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. School is one of the only ways to better myself and I am finding that taking classes while working full-time may have been more than I bargained for. I am made abundantly aware of my lack of significance in this world with every passing moment. I try to find some sort of greater meaning in my actions every day, while working,…

I think that everyone will experience a traumatic event in their life which will cause a division of their life into a before and after.

Through counseling as a young woman, I realized that…

I kept running and running and by the time I stopped…

If I were to reflect on an experience in my life that influenced me in this direction, I could go back to growing up without a father and always having an awareness of how this affected my life, and the life of my brother. I could go back to the years of…

Throughout my life, I have had many formative experiences, some good and some bad. However there are few that stick with me today, dictating nearly everything I do. I am an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist, consequently one event that I can point to and say “That has had a profound impact on my life!” is the first time I went hunting. Hunting changed nearly my entire outlook on life; I feel more connected to my family, friends, nature, and most especially God. I have had many…

there. I also went to McDonalds, because they have different drinks and food over there. I got a honeycomb crisp frappe. Something else that was super cool was that I got to stand where Ed Sheeran stood while filming his music video to the song,”Galway Girl”. It was super cool and I would have been stupid to not get a picture of that. The long day in Galway was definitely well spent. On Friday evening, after the long day in Galway, we went over to my uncles nieces house and went horseback…
