Personal Narrative: My Goal Of Becoming A Nurse
Financial needs are the most important thing when it comes to college. This scholarship would greatly impact my ability to pay for my future education. It would come in handy for books, living expense, and any other expense in which I will have. Other scholarships will also come in handy and although I have applied for several, I do not know at this time if I have been awarded any of the scholarships I have applied for. While in college I plan to work as a CNA to save money and to also get better knowledge for my goal of becoming a nurse. Throughout high school, I feel that I have gained a strong work ethic. Not only towards jobs that I have held but also towards my school work. I have worked at the Bedford Swimming Pool, which I have become …show more content…
I was given the opportunity to be a captain for the varsity golf team for three years, as well as a junior varsity captain for the volleyball team one year. I feel that I have great confidence, integrity, passion, and patience when it comes to activities that I have had a leadership role in. Being active in different activities at school has been a huge passion of mine. I have had a struggle with chronic pancreatitis since the age of nine, making it hard to be active in all of the extra curricular activities that I wish I could be active in. I have been apart of the golf team for three years, volleyball team one year, Business Professionals of America two years, student council two years, FCCLA three years, art club three years and many other activities throughout my four years of high school. These activities have given me tons of great knowledge to help with my future education at college. While not in school I have spent several hours doing volunteer activities. I have put most of my volunteer hours into the Taylor County Fair, but I have also helped with the Bedford Craft Fair, the high school blood drive, Bedford Dance Studio dance recitals, and the annual Easter egg hunt held by Across the Boarder Raid organization. I believe that by helping with these activities I have a better understanding of how much work goes into big events in our community, and I hope in the future that I am able to help with even more

    During high school, I committed most of my free time to my NJROTC unit and my 4-H club. In both of these organizations, community service, leadership, citizenship, and initiative are indispensable values that are essential to their functioning, and I like to think I have learned to embody these traits. In 4-H, I have attended, and then went on to teach, numerous leadership and group trainings. In NJROTC, I attended the Area 5 Leadership Academy, graduated as the Second Honor Cadet of the 2014 Academy, and was selected to be an Aide for the 2015 Academy. I held, or currently hold, leadership positions in both organizations and I feel I set a good example for my peers and subordinates. Through any task, I am enthusiastic about my job and…

    I had my second day of school nursing, and it was awesome; such a busy day. I got to assist with a semi emergency, where the child’s knee locked up and he wasn’t able to walk; he calls it “pancake knee”. I had the opportunity to recheck children that failed either or both parts of the hearing vision screening, as well as, got to be one of the main people to assess children that came in sick. Brenda allowed me to do the assessments as she knows I love the practice; practice makes perfect. Going back to the semi-emergency, where the child had “pancake knee”; I demonstrated developmentally appropriate care on this 3rd grader through this scary and painful experience. Brenda and I were called into class, which was extremely chaotic; this child…

    Hours after surgery, a nurse tries to assists me from the portable hospital bed into my assigned bed. Frustration comes over me; I stand from the bed and place myself where the nurse instructs me. That next morning, I realize how much I dislike hospitals, and my determination to leave increases. Every day is a new start, and each day brings new opportunity, I focus on healing and becoming stronger. Progression begins on taking walks as far down the hall as I can endure; although it hurts, I carry onward. Time is not my medicine, tenacity is. Longer walks around the hospital comes slowly and painfully. However, being able to walk normally eventually comes a week later, and I am able to dress and get myself ready all by myself. The day has finally…

    This past spring and summer I spent my time while not in school volunteering at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. I am interested in pursuing a nursing major, so I was looking for any way I could get a feel for the life of a nurse, and ways that I could help out my community in the process. I was talking about my interest in nursing with a lady at my school one day, and she mentioned that her daughter had participated in this program at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and thoroughly enjoyed it. After looking into the program some, I immediately submitted an application to be able to join. I began volunteering there in March of 2015, and enjoyed every minute of it. While volunteering there, my role in the program was to bring patients and…
