Life
Monday, April 06, 2009
Growing up, my family did not have any money. Both of my parents were drug addicts and my brother and I were the one’s to pay the price. The only time I was able to eat was at school and eventually we were taken away and put in foster care. My grandmother took custody of us and ever since I was little I knew I wanted to help under privileged people that had the same life I did. I originally wanted to become a doctor but that changed soon after I had my son who is my world. While in the hospital, the nurses made my experience what it was. I saw the doctor for about an entire 20 minutes. At that point I realized I was in the wrong profession. There is a clinic near my home and I would love to be a part of that someday. Growing up with no money or anything to my name, I want others to realize that there is someone there for them to help them no matter what their situation is. I will not judge or discriminate. Coming from nothing, I have worked hard to get where I am today. I want to let others know that they do not always have to deal with the hand that life has dealt them.
After getting my BSN and working for awhile I would like to go back to school for my doctorate. The world is full of knowledge and I want to learn as much as I can so I can share it with others. I want to be that nurse that puts a smile on a patient’s face whether I see them at the hospital with a missing arm or at the clinic because they cannot afford the hospital, it does not matter. Every sniffle matters. I would love to work in a clinic and help others achieve their goals as well as my own. I am a hard worker and enjoy learning about the body and if I receive this scholarship, I will work hard to make my dreams come true.
