Memories of My College Life
When I was younger and someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up it was always the same response, a Nurse. In fifth grade I broke my wrist on Thanksgiving Day. I was jumping on the bed and got pushed off and of course I had to immediately go to the hospital. Once we got there the Nurses were super nice and took care of me the whole time. Since that moment, I have just wanted to have the same effect on other people as they did for me. Also I want to be the first to graduate from college in my family. I want to show my family that I will succeed in life just like they want me to. My family wants to me to get a good job and not have to worry about money so much unlike they have. My parents showed me how important it is to continue schooling. They live paycheck to paycheck and I know what it feels like to not be the kid with more money. I don’t want to have to live like that or have my future family have to live like that. I want to show everyone that I can do it and make a difference in people’s lives. College will help me become a Nurse and do what I have always wanted to. I want to be able to be a travel Nurse and help people in poorer areas that can’t travel to hospitals and help them get better and know that they have a chance to live again. I have always wanted to make a difference and fortunately JJC will help me do that. Right now especially it is important to get a degree in something because our economy is not the best and you need a lot of schooling to go far. That’s why I am here at JJC to better my life and other people’s life

    Becoming Registered Nurse

    Becoming a Registered Nurse has been something that I want to become in the future, since I was twelve years old. At that time I experienced having my niece hospitalized when being a month old from pneumonia. Those moments are hard experiences that no one would like to experience but it is part of life. Therefore since that time I want to make a difference on the people who have to be hospitalized, helping them to recover. Although I would like to specialize with infants and children because they have a lower immune system and those are the most fundamental years of their lives.…

    Registerd Nurse

    I have always been the “caretaker” in my family. If someone were hurting, he or she came to me and told me his or her symptoms, and I did my research and told them what I thought about it. Before that, when I was about three years old, I took care of my newborn baby sister. My mama was sick, and my step dad was at work, so I took care of my sister. People ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, and they always get some crazy answer like a movie star. When my mama asked me, I said a doctor. I have since learned that doctors do make a lot of money, but they spend most of it on insurance. My career goal has changed; now I want to be a nurse of some kind, but it is still in the medical field. My grandma said that I like school so much that I will not stop going until I become a doctor. She was right about many things, but I am not so sure about that one. A Registered Nurse (RN) is a good career with a wonderful history, and a nice salary, but you need specific qualities to be an RN.…

    Currently, I am just beginning my journey and ready to dive into the studies program.

I am confident this is the correct career path, as I grew up in a family where I had a rough childhood. I have seen the struggle and have been discouraged many times to not further my education.

Considering the fact my family and I have had rough times, I feel like I would be honoring them and myself by achieving my goals and creating a new journey.

    Why I Want to Be a Nurse

    I would love to be a nurse someday because it has many attractive qualities. The qualities that accompany The field of nursing and which i consider essential to me include the scientific aspect to method, being an active member of the health care team, and becoming a patient advocate. When I was thirteen, I saw all different kinds of people in poverty, may it be infants, children, elderly people and even disabled people. My aunt, who lived in Mexico, got diagnosed with cancer and my family and I moved to Santa Maria Del Oro, Jalisco. It is a very small town located in central-western Mexico where poverty is very evident. My family and I stayed there for two months and everyday I would see people on the streets begging others for money just so they could treat their ailing relatives. I remember when I saw them, I felt so weak. I wanted to help them, yet I didn’t know how since I was just a child. When we came back to the states I realized health care is truly the path for me. It made me realize how other countries like Mexico are in great need of health services and made me more aware of the situation. Seeing the poverty and lack of good health care gave me more than the desire to become a nurse, it gave me the passion and determination to one day achieve that career.…
