I then shadowed Dr. Nina Censoplano for a morning round at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at C.S. Mott Children 's Hospital.

What I learned in my reflections was that my parents knew I wanted to be a doctor before I did. As a child, I often skipped between career prospects. However, there was always some interest in medicine. I had been interested in becoming a neuropaleontologist because the brain fascinated me. I had also been interested in working in the financial area of a biomedical engineering firm because of the help technology provides to patients. After years…
activities. Here at Providence, we value God working in us and through us. Galatians 5:13 commands us to serve one another in love. This includes everyone; not just those that are easy to love.

The nurses’ attitudes and passion gave me a great sensation of comfort as I knew my grandfather was in good hands.…
When I heard you said, the name of the movie, “Something’s Gotta Give,” I was already asking myself so many questions for instance, what she or he got to give; who got to give what. I was really excited to wash that movie. Harry Sanborn is a perennial bachelor who only dates younger and beautiful women. Therefore he chooses to keep women in his life at very superficial levels, not allowing any of them to get close to him. Harry does not allow himself to get close to any of them either. Harry…
Phenomenal. Outcasts. Wise. These are words that you can use to describe Phoenix Jackson and Emily Grierson. Phoenix and Miss Emily were both two respected women in their communities. But, they still lived separate lives; Phoenix, an old, negro, former slave who will do anything to fulfil her grandson’s needs, and Emily, an old white woman who does not have to lift a finger because of her black housekeeper and her respected stance in her community. In my essay, I will touch on both topics.…
