I was six years old and graduating from Kindergarten when I
knew I wanted to be a nurse. Looking back at this it baffles me on why I wanted
to be a nurse at such a young age. However, since then I have continued to
follow that dream of becoming a nurse and that is my career path I am hoping
for. My mindset is scattered, I have confidence then I have doubts. As a
student I am focused for the main part, but I like my life outside of school
way too much. I am an employee at a tanning salon; I work there about five days
a week. It’s not a hard job, but when I’m not working I’m at the gym, with my
boyfriend or friends, going to the mall, or just finding something to do. One
of my older sister’s is incredibly smart; she is a physician’s assistant for a
Doctor at the Women’s Hospital. For her everything just comes easily, she’s
naturally smart. I’m not that lucky. I have to make time for homework and
studies, if I don’t I won’t have a clue what is going on in my classes. This is
just a motive for me though; I have to work hard for the stuff I want. Some
days are rough and I second guess myself if this is really what I want to do
for the rest of my life. Those days occur when I get a bad grade back or if I’m
struggling with something. I think
everyone has this issue though. It’s definitely a life lesson.
I know
that getting into the Nursing program is going to open many doors for my life,
including meeting new friends. That is my motivation for working hard in school
and getting good grades. Also, my parents are big motivators in staying on top
of things. I wouldn’t say they’re strict, but they encourage me in every way to
succeed because they want me to be happy. The tough classes now are just
preparing me for the real world when I’m faced with actual problems that I have
to overcome. I know it will be worth it in the end. I’m the type of person to
never give up on something. If it’s a challenge the better it is for me, I like
to make things better or change things for the better. It’s a way of
accomplishing something and knowing you succeed. Having two older sisters who
one is a nurse and the other a physician assistant, sets the bar at what I need
to achieve also. All of the help and support I have around me there is no
reason why I won’t be able to achieve my goals of becoming who I want to be, a
nurse. I also know that this will benefit me in the future so I’m giving it my
best now to get the best results later.
Nursing is such a wonderful career! Many of my friends are nurses and LOVE it! Best of luck to you!
