I'm about to embark on a completely unknown journey. It's putting one foot in front of the other and fearlessly pursuing the next dream.

From an early age, I have been captivated by the profound impact that healthcare professionals have on people's lives. Their ability to heal, provide comfort, and make a positive difference in the world has inspired me to embark on a journey in the medical field. My biggest influence to pursue a career in the medical field was the show Greys Anatomy, "Grey's Anatomy" showcases the dedication, resilience, and compassion required to work in the medical field. The characters' passion for saving lives and making a difference motivated me, because we shared similar aspirations. While the show may take creative liberties for dramatic effect, it still presents medical cases and procedures that mirror real-life situations. The portrayal of medical scenarios and the complex decision-making process sparked my curiosity and interest into the healthcare field. The show portrays the high-pressure environment of a hospital and the emotional toll it can take on healthcare professionals. By watching how the characters cope with stress, overcome obstacles, and navigate their personal and professional lives, I have gained insight into the resilience required in the healthcare field. I feel as if in some way this show has prepared me for the challenges that I may face and inspire me to develop effective coping mechanisms. "Grey's Anatomy" emphasizes the importance of teamwork and the relationships between healthcare professionals. By observing how the characters collaborate, communicate, and support one another, I have learned about the collaborative nature of healthcare and the significance of effective teamwork. This can be valuable for when I am in the healthcare field and working closely with colleagues in a multidisciplinary setting. As I embark on this journey, I understand the importance of further research, practical experiences, and engaging with real healthcare professionals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the realities and responsibilities of the profession. However, I am grateful for the impact that "Grey's Anatomy" has had on shaping my aspirations and instilling in me the determination to pursue a career dedicated to healing, compassion, and making a positive impact on the lives of others.

In today's fast-paced and demanding world, the significance of mental health cannot be overstated. It is an essential aspect of our well-being that influences how we think, feel, and navigate through life's challenges. Despite its crucial role, mental health remains a topic often shrouded in stigma and misconceptions. As society begins to recognize the profound impact of mental health on individuals and communities, it becomes increasingly imperative to shed light on this subject. As I prepare for college, I have realized how mentally exhausting this new step in my life has become. I am an expecting teenager, but please don't misunderstand, I am not a mom-to-be. I'm pregnant in the sense that I am in the process of producing something incredible in the near future. In many ways, the timeline and emotional preparedness I will be going through this year is the same as preparing for any new life to begin. The biggest difference is that the new life that will be born is mine. The first trimester is fraught with anxiety. It is where the seed of ideas develops a life of its own. There is a lot of fear and anticipation in this phase. What I am planning to create will need total commitment. Essentially, I am faithfully investing in a high school girl's future: mine. Just like a pregnant woman fears the health of her child, I need to safeguard the health of my career by having a solid, academically healthy start. This is scary because I will be a first-generation college student. There are no role models before me. A new mother would say, "I don't know what it takes to be a good mother." Well, I don't know what it takes for me to be the best student. I fear that I won't be able to develop my dreams into something substantial, because I won't have what it takes for this future. In the second trimester, I'm already thinking about the people who should be supporting me. My parents are the main reason I'm even more scared of my future. I've spent my whole life witnessing my family's issues. With my mom always in my corner and never letting me down, but not always having the father figure every little girl dreams about having. I saw my dad leave multiple times, and each time he left it flipped my world upside down. I've seen my mom must step up to take both roles, yes, he was there but he was never there the way I needed him to be. After the final time my dad left, I knew I would never be the same Alicia everyone knew me as and I also had to step up to help my mom with my two sisters. Every time people saw me, they saw the fun and happiness in me; they never saw the hurt in me, not even my family. In short, creating a new life without having all my family's support has been difficult, but I need to keep my "eye on the prize." In this metaphor, I am truly a single mother, and the success of this phase will be dependent on my determination. My dad only provides for me financially and not emotionally. My mother helps me in every possible way she can, but she also has two other girls to take care of. The second trimester is exhausting, because I can feel myself feeding into the stress. The third trimester affords only a little bit of breathing room. There's no turning back and this future has the potential to survive without the energy that I needed to apply in the earlier months. I'm excited to create the future of a beautiful, intelligent girl. Just like pregnancies have the potential to experience trauma in a blink of an eye, I need to stay focused on the health of my well-crafted plan, while also taking care of my mental and physical wellbeing. August 8th is when my life takes shape. I made the decision where this next phase will happen. This is where my new life starts.

"True leadership is not about being in charge; it is about taking care of those in your charge." Leadership, to me, is more than just a position of authority or a title to hold. It embodies a unique set of qualities and actions that inspire, guide, and influence others towards a common goal. Historically, women have been underrepresented in leadership positions due to various societal, cultural, and structural barriers. Leadership, to me, is a multifaceted concept that extends beyond wielding authority. As a young woman, I want to be able to impact the world in a positive way. Impacting the world through the healthcare field will be a long-term endeavor. This will require dedication, persistence, and a collaborative mindset. Leaders who set a positive example have the power to inspire, motivate, and shape the culture of their organizations. Their actions and behaviors influence the behavior of their followers, encouraging trust and credibility, and contribute to the overall success and well-being of individuals and teams. Leaders have the responsibility to develop the next generation of leaders. By setting a positive example, leaders provide a blueprint for aspiring leaders to follow. Leaders should consistently act with honesty, fairness, and integrity. They build credibility and promote an environment of trust. Within each of us lies the potential to become a catalyst for change, an inspiration to others, and a beacon of possibility. Embracing the untapped leader within myself, and unleashing the transformative power of my unique vision, passion, and values. The world is waiting for women leadership, and my journey begins with the courage to believe in my own potential. By welcoming opportunities to lead at every level of my career, and having confidence in my abilities to make a difference in the healthcare field as a women leader. This leadership role that I want to make in the world will not happen overnight, It will require dedication, persistence, and a collaborative mindset.

Their actions and behaviors influence the behavior of their followers, encouraging trust and credibility, and contribute to the overall success and well-being of individuals and teams.

Leaders should consistently act with honesty, fairness, and integrity. They build credibility and promote an environment of trust. Within each of us lies the potential to become a catalyst for change, an inspiration to others, and a beacon of possibility.

I am an expecting teenager, but please don't misunderstand, I am not a mom-to-be. I'm pregnant in the sense that I am in the process of producing something incredible in the near future. In many ways, the timeline and emotional preparedness I will be going through this year is the same as preparing for any new life to begin. The biggest difference is that the new life that will be born is mine. The first trimester is fraught with anxiety. It is where the seed of ideas develops a life of its own. There is a lot of fear and anticipation in this phase. What I am planning to create will need total commitment. Essentially, I am faithfully investing in a high school girl's future: mine. Just like a pregnant woman fears the health of her child, I need to safeguard the health of my career by having a solid, academically healthy start. This is scary because I will be a first-generation college student. There are no role models before me. A new mother would say, "I don't know what it takes to be a good mother." Well, I don't know what it takes for me to be the best student. I fear that I won't be able to develop my dreams into something substantial, because I won't have what it takes for this future. In the second trimester, I'm already thinking about the people who should be supporting me. My parents are the main reason I'm even more scared of my future. I've spent my whole life witnessing my family's issues. With my mom always in my corner and never letting me down, but not always having the father figure every little girl dreams about having. I saw my dad leave multiple times, and each time he left it flipped my world upside down. I've seen my mom must step up to take both roles, yes, he was there but he was never there the way I needed him to be. After the final time my dad left, I knew I would never be the same Alicia everyone knew me as and I also had to step up to help my mom with my two sisters. Every time people saw me, they saw the fun and happiness in me; they never saw the hurt in me, not even my family. In short, creating a new life without having all my family's support has been difficult, but I need to keep my "eye on the prize." In this metaphor, I am truly a single mother, and the success of this phase will be dependent on my determination. My dad only provides for me financially and not emotionally. My mother helps me in every possible way she can, but she also has two other girls to take care of. The second trimester is exhausting, because I feed into the stress. The third trimester affords only a little bit of breathing room. There's no turning back and this future has the potential to survive without the energy that I needed to apply in the earlier months. I'm excited to create the future of a beautiful, intelligent girl.

Core values serve as the compass that guides us in navigating the complexities of life. They are the fundamental principles and beliefs that shape our behavior, decisions, and relationships. In a world where opinions and circumstances may vary, our core values provide a steadfast foundation, helping us stay true to our principles and find meaning in our actions.Whether inherited from your upbringing, shaped by our experiences, or cultivated through introspection, our core values shape the essence of who we are. Exploring these values not only sheds light on our own identity, but also offers insight into the values that connect and differentiate us from others. Compassion, respect, and excellence are some core values that I have used throughout my life. Compassion fosters positive and meaningful connections with others. Showing empathy, care, and understanding towards others. Being compassionate promotes a sense of purpose and fulfillment to my life. Whether that’s just me taking the time to truly listen to someone without judgment or interruption or small acts of kindness like helping another student with an assignment that they’re struggling with. Remembering, even small acts of compassion can have a significant impact on someone’s day. When you treat others with respect, I am acknowledging their worth and value as individuals. Being respectful allows me to appreciate and embrace the diversity of individuals and their perspectives. By practicing respect, I can contribute to a more compassionate and understanding society. Everyday interactions such as using polite language and greeting others with a smile. Something as simple as saying "please" and "thank you," or holding the door for someone are some daily interactions that demonstrate respect for others. By practicing respect in daily interactions, I am encouraging positive connections, promoting understanding, and cultivating a culture of dignity and empathy. As a perfectionist, striving for excellence pushes me to continuously improve and develop my skills, knowledge, and abilities. Striving for excellence can inspire and motivate others to do the same. Embracing your core values enhances your academic experience and contributions to building fulfilling and healthy relationships. Core values provide a guiding compass and help define your purpose and priorities. In academic studies, having core values helps align my educational pursuits with what truly matters to me. It helps me choose courses, extracurricular activities, and academic goals that align with my values. In relationships, core values help establish boundaries, set expectations, and ensure that interactions are aligned with my values. In summary, having core values is important because they provide clarity of purpose, serve as guiding principles, and promote personal fulfillment.

I am an expecting teenager, but please don't misunderstand, I am not a mom-to-be. I'm pregnant in the sense that I am in the process of producing something incredible in the near future. In many ways, the timeline and emotional preparedness I will be going through this year is the same as preparing for any new life to begin. The biggest difference is that the new life that will be born is mine. The first trimester is fraught with anxiety. It is where the seed of ideas develops a life of its own. There is a lot of fear and anticipation in this phase. What I am planning to create will need total commitment. Essentially, I am faithfully investing in a high school girl's future: mine. Just like a pregnant woman fears the health of her child, I need to safeguard the health of my career by having a solid, academically healthy start. This is scary because I will be a first-generation college student. There are no role models before me. A new mother would say, "I don't know what it takes to be a good mother." Well, I don't know what it takes for me to be the best student. I fear that I won't be able to develop my dreams into something substantial, because I won't have what it takes for this future. In the second trimester, I'm already thinking about the people who should be supporting me. My parents are the main reason I'm even more scared of my future. I've spent my whole life witnessing my family's issues. With my mom always in my corner and never letting me down, but not always having the father figure every little girl dreams about having. I saw my dad leave multiple times, and each time he left it flipped my world upside down. I've seen my mom must step up to take both roles, yes, he was there but he was never there the way I needed him to be. After the final time my dad left, I knew I would never be the same Alicia everyone knew me as and I also had to step up to help my mom with my two sisters. Every time people saw me, they saw the fun and happiness in me; they never saw the hurt in me, not even my family. In short, creating a new life without having all my family's support has been difficult, but I need to keep my "eye on the prize." In this metaphor, I am truly a single mother, and the success of this phase will be dependent on my determination. My dad only provides for me financially and not emotionally. My mother helps me in every possible way she can, but she also has two other girls to take care of. The second trimester is exhausting, because I feed into the stress. The third trimester affords only a little bit of breathing room. There's no turning back and this future has the potential to survive without the energy that I needed to apply in the earlier months. I'm excited to create the future of a beautiful, intelligent girl. My thoughts begin to drift to graduation and the post-high school experience. I'm thinking with anticipation of the people I'll meet in college. Yet, I can't look too far into the future because my present moment still needs my complete attention. Just like pregnancies have the potential to experience trauma in a blink of an eye, I need to stay focused on the health of my well-crafted plan. I need to complete assignments, get them in on time, and study well. May 25th is when my life takes shape. I made the decision where this next phase will happen. This is where my new life starts. I'm about to embark on a completely unknown journey. No one really prepares you for motherhood, nor does one know how to navigate college. It's putting one foot in front of the other and fearlessly pursuing the next dream. My "due date" is May 25, 2022, and I'm prepared to succeed with my new life, a career in diagnostic medical sonography.
