Making a Difference
Monday, April 06, 2009
My goals and aspirations as they relate to my education, career, and future and simple but profound: Make a difference in the lives of those that I touch. This has been a personal statement of mine for the past ten years of my life, but looking back into childhood it is who I have always been. I was always the first one to greet the new student, lend a helping hand, or stand up for what I believed was right.
This goal doesnâ?Tt have to make sweeping changes; it is just a way to live my life and create small waves along the way.
In school, it keeps me focused on the task at hand, which is learning as much as I can to make a great nurse. I do my best on my school, lab, and clinical work, while making connections with the people around me. I am someone who my classmates trust and look to for support. I am always willing to take a challenging patient at the clinical sight, and find out what I can do to help.
In my career and future my goal to make a difference is multifaceted. As a nurse I know that I will make an exceptional addition to any team. I will be able to step up to what is given me and make the most of it. In the diverse world that we live in I can make a difference by using the languages and cultural adaptations that I have learned from living abroad several times.
I am a qualified candidate for this scholarship because I am determined to keep going no matter what it takes. I will use my degree for the benefit of all those around me â?” my family, my community, and my employer.
