Personal Narrative: My Accomplishment In The Medical Academy

National Honors Society is an amazing opportunity to be chosen for. By being accepted, it shows that the hard work that I have done in the classroom, and in the community have done well for not only the community but for myself as a person. Since I have started High-school, I have done many volunteer hours at my church. I have done many things such as help lead game-time for the little ones during a learning program called Awana. Awana is a program done by some churches to help raise children to love and serve God. I also help most Sundays in the sound room at church. I help to run the sound and the computer that displays the songs that we are doing that particular Sunday. I enjoy doing these things because seeing the children’s faces, enjoying

Throughout my four years here at Virginia High School, I have multiple positive contributions. One of the bigger contributions that I have made was being a leader through National Honor Society. This has given me the opportunity to set up the blood drives that happens every couple of months. It has also allowed me to participate at the food pantry. All of these activities have made me the person I am today and also allowed me to help the school look better in the community.

Finishing high school and going to college can be quite overwhelming, yet incredible at the same time. However, taking classes at LaGuardia Community College meant that I was no longer in high school, and I need it to do things on my own to strive for success. In my first year seminar class, I had to adapt to a new environment where the majority of the work was submitted online at a specific time, and I also had to get used to using the websites needed for the class. Furthermore, I witness how students are when finals are just around the corner, many students in my class were rushing to get things done before the deadline. Overall, becoming a college student meant growing up and being independent where I no longer needed to ask for others to help me succeed.

Ms. A frowned as she pointed at my name tag. My face was familiar to her, but she could not quite remember who I was or why I was sitting next to her.

The decision to apply to medical school was not taken lightly. I knew that medical school would require a huge commitment of my time and energy. Therefore, before applying to medical school, I knew that I needed to prove both to myself and to the committees that would be reviewing my application that I had what it takes no not only survive, but to excel in medical school. Therefore, while continuing to work around 50 hours per week, I returned to school with a full-time load, and prepared myself for the MCAT – all in a period of about 6 months. This was one of the most mentally and physically exhausting periods of my life, but the tools I developed to spend my time both wisely and efficiently helped me stay organized. My passion for the coursework

There’s has been many educational opportunities in my life but the most significant opportunity that I had that really impacted me was partnering and being able to intern with Sharp as a highschool student. As a student going to a high school focused on the medical field, I have gotten many advantages in my education for interning as a nurse at Sharp Grossmont hospital. I’ve connected with many inspiring and great people along the way and I have learned more about healthcare from the many preceptors I have collabed with. While I was interning as a nurse on the 5west area, it really open my mind up to determine if nursing was what I truly wanted and go along with. As the years went by, I have not only intern in the nursing area but also in the

My biggest challenges to applying to medical school came from finding a balance between working to afford school and having enough time to study as well as coping with the fact that my parents moved to Germany and I wouldn't be able to afford to see them. These two problems on top of the normal stress of starting college took a toll on my first year and a half and is something that I'm reminded of every time I look at my grades from those semesters. During this time what helped me the most was my determination and my willingness to seek help when I needed it. I have never been one to take defeat and I refused to let these set backs keep me from trying to achieve my dreams. While overcoming these challenges have not been easy I'm grateful for

I began my first day of medical school on crutches. During a long bike ride the previous day, the skies opened and it began to rain, as it so often happens in New Orleans. Nearly home while taking a corner, I slipped off my bike and split my knee open. As a result, I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon in the emergency department getting twenty sutures and was diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon. The following day at the White Coat Ceremony, I clumsily crutched across the stage to begin my medical school career.

Scared, nervous, anxious my emotions were all over the place. I didn’t know the interview was going to be a group interview? “Great!” I said to myself, now I have to deal with making myself stand out more. I thought to myself I need this internship so I can be able to look at different careers in the medical field. I need to calm myself down now the interview is about to start. Each time it came to my turn I felt so nervous that I couldn’t get the right words out of my mouth. Nine questions went by and the interview was finally done. I shake hands with both interviewers as I step out the door I felt intimidated by the other applicants. I don’t even know if I aced the interview or completely bombed it.

The experience I will get from the program is an inspirational and unexpected view of the continent that I may visit during the short period of time. This will connect also with the biomedical program I’m in it will show a way of aspect of helping others. Africa is an rich continent but so many people are poor and their governor failing to fight against corruption just like the state I live in Louisiana and its poor it’s in debt. It also connect with the knowledge African people have to start their own business to provide for their family and I want to invest in starting my own business so I will be working for myself and make how much money I want to make. We have education crisis that we in school but we learn so little while in school

As a result, I graduated high school as a Nurse Aide. As the daughter of an absentee alcoholic father, I was the product of an impoverished single-parent, yet loving, household. Odds, for a post-secondary education, were seemingly stacked against me, and temporarily precluded my pursuit to become a nurse. Shortly after graduation, I was married and obtained a job as a phlebotomist. Instead of pursuing my dream, I became a young mother, and due to an inability to afford childcare, was dependent upon public assistance. When our daughters began kindergarten, I went to work part-time as a Paramedical Insurance Examiner and later, challenged the registry exam for Medical Assisting, scoring in the 99th percentile. Seeing my enthusiasm, and valuing my potential, my employer suggested that I return to school for Nursing. He graciously assisted me in procuring financial aid. Subsequently, I graduated with High Honors from Alamance Community College, earning an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (ADN). As a first-generation college graduate, I finally felt the cycle had been

Healthcare industry is abroad topic, complex and diverse overall. I was not sure about my college major to pursue until my second year in college. My decision came to healthcare administration and policy when it came to my semester academic advising with my advisor at that time. I do not have family members or relatives directly related in the medical field but it was always an interest topic for me. Ultimately I heavily weighted on the healthcare field as my degree of studies and declared my major in health administration and health care policy.

The one person in my life I try to model myself after is my grandmother. She is a caring person, as well as a nurse. Therefore, I thought if I was a nurse, I could be like her. Then I learned all about the horrors that go with being a nurse. I also realized that people are in need of aid. To help the people, I would need to go to medical school.

As I begin to think about my journey, it is unbelievable to think I am about to graduate from nursing school. I can still remember getting my acceptance letter which entailed that I was going to be a part of Western Kentucky University’s Baccalaureate School of Nursing Program starting Spring 2016. I remember the first day of nursing school and how scared, nervous, and excited I was. I can recall preparing for check-offs and the sweat and tears I poured into these. My hard work and sleepless nights due to studying are about to pay off, and I could not be more excited! This journey has been extraordinary, and I cannot wait to continue my journey as a nurse.

When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. In my rural hometown, the doctor was respected second only to the mayor. Everyone loved Dr. Ozaki who ran the local clinic. Children – despite their fear of getting flu shots – were happy to see him. In my culture, to be venerated is to achieve the highest possible status in the community. When I grew up, I knew that I wanted to be like Dr. Ozaki.
