I think my strong desire to be in a position to help and teach will help me achieve my goals in my nursing career.

Although I love my current role, I feel I’m now ready for a more challenging occupation which is why I have chosen nursing.

I have loved attending college so far and look forward to my adventure at WITC throughout the next two

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects.

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

Nursing as a career seems to inspire a certain type of person. It has also called to me quite personally as a path that suits me. There are a lot of aspects of nursing that appeal to me, for a few reasons. The first being my interest in the scientific field, and the endless fascination I have with how our bodies make us who we as humans are, unique and impressive. The second being the opportunity to use my skills and interest to help those who cannot help themselves. Foremost, those who are sick, injured, or otherwise need some type of personalized medical care. As a nurse I will be able to fill a very important role in their recovery, and equally as important, their comfort and feeling of safety during that time. Second, those who are close

I believe the experience I’ve gained from the work force will be a valuable tool as a nurse. When I think of a nurse I imagine a compassionate, smart, and caring person. I don’t think I would possess these qualities if I was coming straight from high school. Metaphorically speaking, I know that all people suffer in their own battles. I am now older, wiser, and more compassionate and understand when patients are sick they need to encounter a nurse that can give them compassion, understanding, loving care, correct information, and a listening

“How’s everything going with you this evening?” the voter on the other end of the phone asks with friendly interest so genuine it almost catches me off-guard.

The road to becoming a nurse is a constant struggle. Go ahead and laugh, I’m laughing at myself for that ridiculously unnecessary statement. However, it makes sense for me because this was a struggle that I was rather oblivious to as a high school senior when I grasped God’s hand and said “Okay God, I follow where you lead.” If nothing else, thanks to that, I know even in the darkest of moments that I am right where I am supposed to be.
