I am from the island of Falalop Woleai which is one the outer islands of Yap State. The culture I was born and raised in has slightly changed over the years but our traditions are strongly practiced and respected.

I spent my Summer working at the lake. Sounds like a blast right? WRONG! I worked, like a slave, at the Marina pumping gas, cleaning boats, and serving customers with a smile...sometimes.
Those duties included coordinating train operators, bus drivers, and other essential project personnel. That afforded me the opportunity to develop my interpersonal skills, to work and make decisions at a fast pace, as well as giving me experience working with a team of my peers and various other age groups. I was able to divide work up amongst the group/groups to maximize our time together and promote collaboration. I learned when to lead, and when to let others more equipped to lead, and when to follow an order to make the session most productive for the entire group. This past year I work as a R.I.S.E. Advisor through the school, where I helped the coordinator of the program update and manage the database of High School seniors we worked with, tracking their progress throughout the year. Also, personally helping students fill out applications to colleges, helping them navigate the FAFSA website, and even develop resumes, just to name a
The Hope Outreach Center is a nonprofit organization that provides services and assistance to families in need. The center provides child care, food, clothing, schooling assistance for children, as well as emergency assistance to senior citizens. In the past and during the holiday break, I have worked the front desk answering phone calls as well as assessing people and their issues or needs that they request and trying to tend to them. I have donated clothes and food to the center and also organized food
I also worked throughout my junior and senior year as a yearbook editor. While doing this I was able to learn great leadership and time management skills which I plan to take with me to
When I moved to New Hampshire, I worked full time at Plymouth State College and took night courses towards a BSN for one and a half years. I postponed my education for eight years while I was a wife and mother. After divorcing, I returned to P.S.C. to continue taking courses leading towards a BSN to help support my children and myself in a career that allows me to contribute to my community. Currently, I am attending Claremont School of Nursing full time, working towards completing an Associate RN Degree.
For my externship I worked at Heshima, a center takeing care of physically and mentally challenged children, for 20 hours. The highlights of my experience were; successfully getting into the organization blindly, being able to work alongside the Heshima employees and watching Nelly, the headmistress’s way of doing things. She, being the head of the school used a method of leadership I had not seen before.
I started the week off at Ortho Colorado. I cleaned beds and rooms and helped put patients' charts together. The next day was breast center. I gave patients paperwork to fill out and checked patients in. I also took the mammogram patients to get changed and gave patients' charts to the techs. Wednesday and Saturday I was in PACU and I helped the nurses with anything that they needed. I admited patients into the computer and restocked bays. I also got the patients ice chips and ice packs.
Returning to school was a direct continuation of my bachelor degree, however, I did take two years off. My main reason for returning to school is so that I can advance my nursing career. I also have a strong passion for learning and nursing was the obvious choice as there is still so much for me to learn. I plan on getting my master degree with Capella University and then moving forth to get my doctoral degree in family practice. My ultimate goal professionally is to become a nurse practitioner. As a Hmong American, I understand both the views in Eastern and Western medicine and believe that I would be able to provide care appropriately for the Hmong community. Additionally, having seen the cultural barriers in the health care industry not
What I did for work. I worked for Tom Mathis this summer driving around his kids. I took them to the pool, and picked them up from practices. I got paid 100$ a week for helping with Tom’s kids. It was a fun job, but I would like to do something different next summer.
I became an official ambassador for the youth volunteer program. I worked with the WTA to introduce other students to the program and coordinated trailwork parties in my community forestlands.

As president, I worked with the members of the club, the community, and faculty to organize a rain-garden installation in our town. The project took a long time and a lot of footwork, but was finished due to the hard work of everyone

The summer of 2014 was very exciting. I just landed my first job working on a farm. As I drove my moped down the road the very next day I had chills running down my back thinking to myself, “What is the worst possible outcome?” As I pulled into the driveway I heard all of the cows out on their pasture fields, heavy machinery humming, and the grain bins spinning. I went up to my boss and he gave me some duties that had to be fulfilled. After completing those tasks he told me to hop into their skid loader. He showed me how to operate the machine. I was nervous, excited, but at the same time stressed out because I have never operated any heavy machinery once in my life. My boss said, “Don’t worry it’s really easy to use.” After I was comfortable
