Recommended: My nursing career goals

To start off, I am a senior in high school and have always loved to learn about anatomy and physiology. Some interesting facts about myself is that I bowl on the schools girls teams, I am currently a dual enrolled student at Daytona State College, and I love learning about the human body and how it functions. Some other facts about me is that I have always loved helping people so I decided to pursue a career in nursing after high school, and I am really bad at public speaking. I started bowling when I was in 4th grade and it was fun for a little while and then I quit because I thought it was lame. At the beginning of last year I joined the high school team to try it out again to see if I liked it and I did. I didn’t do well at all at first but I started getting better and we went to states but lost. Not to brag but I am pretty good at bowling, its not a famous sport or anything but it’s something that is fun to do for me. Once I stopped going every week I didn’t do as well like when I went bowling a couple of weeks ago I scored low but it is something I will have to keep up at. Joining dual enrollment at Daytona State College was the best thing I have done for myself in a while. Just getting a head start on some college classes made everything better.

That is the number one thing I have to overcome if I want become a nurse. With hard work and determination I know I can. I know it is all in my head that everyone will laugh at me but I know they might have the same problem themselves. So being confident in front of a crowd is a big thing for

  • The Long Road to Graduate School

    410 Words  | 1 Pages

    During my freshman year in high school, my mother remarried and I had to move from Colorado to Kentucky.  One year later, we relocated back to Colorado after they divorced.  During my junior year in high school, my mother remarried again and I had to change schools again, although we remained in Colorado.  Thus, I did not have a sense of continuity during high school and although I recognized that my path would lead me to college, I was not ready to commit myself to school full time. Instead I went to work full time as a grocery clerk and worked my way up to assistant manager.  I then moved into customer service work and finally fell into an advertising manager position. I took several night courses during this period until I was ready to commit to school full time.  Although I could have continued with work, I knew that it was not what I wanted to do and once I committed myself to attending school and realized that I wanted to study Sociology, I have proven myself to be an above average student.  This past year, I earned all "A"s in my courses.

    Only two months ago, I moved into room 426 of Trinity Hall and began my journey at Azusa Pacific University. I still remember how nervous and excited I felt when I arrived. Everyone was incredibly kind and overjoyed to have the freshmen move in. Beneath all the exhilaration, I had three big fears that felt like heavy weight on my chest. Because I did not grow up from a Christian family, I feared that I would not fit in with everyone else. I was also intimidated by how extroverted everyone was. I was introverted, so it required extra effort for me to make new friends. Another one of my fears was nursing school since the nursing program is known for its heavy load of work and commitment. Through experimentation, communication, and hard work,

  • The College Experience

    721 Words  | 2 Pages

    "Tomorrow is the first day of what I will become." I wrote this in my diary the night before my first day of college. I was anxious as I imagined the stereotypical college room: intellectual students, in-depth discussions about neat stuff, and of course, a casual professor sporting the tweed jacket with leather elbows. I was also ill as I foresaw myself drowning in a murky pool of reading assignments and finals, hearing a deep, depressing voice ask "What can you do with your life?" Since then, I've settled comfortably into the college "scene" and have treated myself to the myth that I'll hear my calling someday, and that my future will introduce itself to me with a hardy handshake. I can't completely rid my conscience from reality, however. My university education and college experience has become a sort of fitful, and sleepless night, in which I have wonderful dreams and ideas, but when I awaken to apply these aspirations, reality sounds as a six thirty alarm and my dreams are forgotten.
