High School Career Analysis

Throughout my high school career I have always held a job and have always tried my hardest to help other people in any way possible. In the middle of my freshman year at Haverford High School I received a job at a restaurant called Primavera, here i worked as a hostess two times a week. I later moved on to work at a small business called The Head Nut towards the end of my sophomore year, and have worked there ever since. At The Head Nut I work at least 22 hours per week, this has taught me extremely important lessons about how to manage my school work while still maintaining time for work, family, friends and any other activity I do outside of school. In addition to working so often I have also volunteered several times with my mom at a soup
I have always believed that getting involved with politics is extremely important and hope to continue activities like this in college. Lastly, and most importantly, I helped my uncle, who had recently received a lung transplant after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. I have made meals for him, helped him eat and helped him with his daily hygiene. Helping him with all of this is part of the reason I wish to become a nurse, I find caring for people and helping others to be extremely important and gratifying and would love to spend my life doing just that. Due to how I treat my school work as well as how I spend my time outside of school I believe that I would do very well in the nursing program at West Chester. I have learned very important skills throughout high school about how to manage my time as effectively as possible due to working so often, and I have learned how important it is to me to help others when they are in need and how rewarding it is due to volunteering at a soup kitchen and taking care of my uncle. Most importantly however, I have learned what it means to be an adult because of the way I now am able to balance school as well as all of the other activities in my life and no longer feel the stress I once did with
