FinalistBio
At a young age I had discovered my need in wanting to make others feel good many times before myself. I love helping others as it helps me to understand not only myself better but also those around me. My want to help others not only led me to understand people better but also intertwined with my hope in GOD because HE has helped us all so much that I find myself serving GOD faithfully in serving those that are need of a listener. My choice majors not only come from my dedication in helping but my love for others.
I have always found myself most interested in science as it is always a constant learning process even for those that study science. I find it intriguing how things are done.

There's something about making younger you feel proud that I can never really articulate into the correct sentences. I'm not the best communicator but when it comes to things I am passionate about I could go on for hours. I can’t tell if it’s little me speaking, the family pressure to have a doctor in the family, or the hope to never have to see my family struggling to get and trust health care again. Still, I know I am being called by GOD the Trinity together to become a professional nurse. The heartful feeling of making people feel healthy with a smile reaching from ear to ear is an accomplishment for me. A feeling that helps me identify the best parts of myself. It's not like I've done anything like that yet, but even finding the right medications after someone explains their pains to me and hearing my mom call me her “doctora” makes me feel that I have.
With wanting to become a nurse also comes the echoing opinions of others to remind you just how much of a hassle it’ll be to successfully manage such a challenging career. Despite the voices of others, it works in my favor. I love challenges. But more than challenges I have always loved to learn. Going to college was never a question for me. My mind craves to learn something new even if it is difficult for me to fully comprehend at first. This not only goes for my academic interests but also my progression and growth as a Hispanic first-generation citizen of Dominican parents. I have no other choice for myself than to repay my parents in every possible way that I can both in wealth and in gratitude for their determination and sacrifices to want my siblings and I to succeed and live comfortable lives. Nursing can be difficult but by faith and determination, I will face headfirst all my obstacles to fulfill the debt I am in to my parents.
To me, nursing goes deeper than wanting to heal patients. It's understanding that every person has someone that deeply admires them. Everyone has their dependents. Someone who stands behind that person willing to lose everything to see them succeed. I was willing to do that for my grandma, although she is no longer with me. I tried everything I could do to research how to make her spiteful feelings of illness go away. A pain that now motivates me to flourish in my faith. More recently, seeing my cousin who is almost always misidentified as my twin, in a hospital gown is an indescribable pain. My interest in growing my education is not only for me but because I owe it to my family and friends. To those that look like me, a person of color, to be in the healthcare field improving the healing process and raising nursing demographics. Nursing was never about me being obsessed with plastic toy stethoscopes and Doc Mcstuffin in my infancy, my education and interest in nursing was about being an empath wanting the absolute best for everyone
