Who Am I
Johnett Smith
Albright College

My name is Johnett Michell Smith. I am a licensed practical nurse and a mother of 6. This article was probably one of the most difficult but fun task I have had yet to write. Why, because I must search the inside and outward actions of self. I am a very spiritual person who loves the relationship with the God of my understanding. I do my best to live by spiritual values and principles which keep me from self destruction. I have learned through experience that I can be my worst enemy. I enjoy shopping at flea markets and for some reason I am attracted to purchasing organizers and never seem to get organized. It is very confusing and sort of embarrassing for me. I am told by others that I can have a very defensive attitude. It has been a great learning process knowing that others can see me as I cannot. I have learned to accept what I now consider constructive criticism. I can only allow it to shape me or break me. I am thankful for what I have in my life one day at a time. I am thankful just to be alive another day. I am humorous and love sharing my happiness with others. I am learning in my spiritual walk to be more forgiving. I don’t believe people are generally out to hurt me. It’s usually a lack of knowledge, self hate or a yearning for help that someone doesn’t know any better than to treat someone in an wrongful manner. Enjoy being helpful and empathetic to others which seem to increase my self-esteem and helps me to love myself even more. I am always willing to learn from others but I can be stern in many ways continuing the ethnic values and morals taught by my mother. I have always been responsive to the immediate needs of others. It could be responding to a bully who is hurting another or a terrible accident. I believe it’s only human nature to help another. Many have told me that I am a social butterfly because I

    By utilizing the information presented in this class, I was able to learn, apply and document via a written paper information on Erikson’s developmental stages and Butler’s Life Review. I was able to practice my interviewing skill during my interview of R.V. The take away I had with his interview is that it takes work to be successful and you have to have balance in your life. It may not come when you are at the peak of working or during education, but you must find the balance. I have enjoyed my time in this class and I will use he skills that I have learned and I will apply the information that I read as I enter into my practice as a nurse and hopefull as a nurse…

    Being a nurse meant a lot to me when I became a nurse 23 yrs. ago at the tender age of 21. It was not just a job for me but it meant caring for people in their darkest hour, comforting them when they are most vulnerable, and helping them when they needed most. Today, I feel privileged that I had opportunity that most people don’t to make a difference in people’s life from all walks of life (, 2010, p. 2). When I first became nurse, nursing as a career was not on my mind , my heart was filled with passion to help the sick , but today I see nursing as a career , a job , an opportunity , convenience , and a means to reach out and impact people’s life .…

    Timothy Valente Who Am I...? I would consider this question not completely answered until my time here on earth is complete. Especially given the circumstances of my life at this moment, I'd have to say that if I were to die tomorrow, I would not be satisfied or serene with how things turned out. So let’s pray I have some time to reflect on my past mistakes, learn from them, and try to use them constructively in helping others so they don’t have to go through what I have during my twenty four years of living.…

    Although versus my weaknesses which include being too sensitive, try to please everyone around me, and in situations where I will have to make a difficult decision I tend to freak out and do not know how to handle myself. The relationships I have with others around have been impacted both positively and negatively because of the way I am. The value of any relationship, either friends or family relations, is very important to me. Making sure the people I love know I care for them and would do anything for them is dire. I want them to understand putting them first is something I am willing to do, even if it requires doing something that could affect me horribly. Also, I tend to push people to let me know what is bothering them. For instance, if I saw a friend of mine was upset and something was bothering him/her I would repeatedly ask what is on their mind or what is bothering them and if I do not get a good response then I will take it to heart and feel as if I am a burden. This may sound extremely basic but sometimes it almost feels as if the times my friends need me I will be there for them no matter what but the one time I am actually upset no one wants to listen and it is me all alone trying to help myself. This is why I have to keep my thoughts to myself and not let my emotions get the better of me because the second I feel like I have someone who might care about…

    DOI: As a nurse, I have the privilege of being with people as they tell about their lives and their varied health situations. I am often awed by the courage, strength, resilience, and determination revealed by individuals and their families as they try to enhance quality of life within day to day challenges.
