Presently, I am taking my basics for my nursing program at the Tarrant County College (TCC) North West campus. I chose TCC because it is close to my house, it is cheaper when compared to other colleges, also all my family in the state attended TCC. In other words, attending TCC has been a family tradition. Another important reason why I chose TCC is because it serves as a motivation for student who may want to further their education at university level. My first goal which is also a short time goal is to have an ‘A’ in all my modules. This is very crucial to me because I want to enroll in the nursing program which is very competitive. The nursing program at TCC takes about three years to complete with a minimum of 12 semester and 72 credit hours. For me to accomplish this goal and make it a reality, I have tried my best to turn in assignment on due dates, participate in and do all class work because the grades from the assignment and class work will help boost my grades higher. Other than the assignments and class work, I have disciplined myself to study every day for at least three hours on each subject and also use the library to do my research .
Having my associate degree in applied sciences is just the beginning of my educational goal. My dream is to earn bachelor in nursing at the Texas Christian University (TCU). I am also planning to work for at least five years as a nurse, and do a Masters in Public Health.
This takes me
