The world was running smoothly for my family and me until the day I turned the TV on to see a new virus report. COVID-19 was spreading faster than the flu and killing people at a faster rate. The news shocked me and left me with endless questions running through my head -"What if I die? How will my family be protected from this horrific virus?" As cases skyrocketed to numbers higher than I ever thought imaginable, I knew I had to create a plan to secure my health. I became obsessed with medicine and ways to improve your immune system. I spent summer nights researching nursing schools, knowing the country needed more caregivers. School helped me develop a greater awareness of myself and my environment; wanting to help out in some way possible in every school I've attended defines who I am. All of my extracurricular activities and family commitments make me understand what a role model I am to individuals and how I want my dream mission to accomplish something. I wish to support and keep people in need secure, even though it means risking my life for them. Thinking about all the different paths I could take, nursing was the path that truly inspired me. What motivates me the most is my grandma's well-being. She can’t move too much, so I had to prepare food for her, sitting with her throughout the day. I had to make sure I met my grandma’s everyday needs. My mom always said that helping others in need, especially when it comes to family and friends, is necessary. When my family and I were going through financial struggles and moving houses, more responsibilities came into play; I stepped in and took action to move forward in life. To be a nurse, you have to take action quickly and tenaciously. As a person that babysits children daily, I feel a passion for caring for human beings. While my mother was working, I needed to ensure the kids were clean, engaged, cherished, and safe. My mother trained me from the age of nine. Nurses have numerous struggles and obligations on a day-to-day basis. You need to keep your chin up and ten toes on the floor to be a nurse. I've pushed because of that. My family instilled the mentality that I need to be successful in surviving better. A nurse needs to learn how to respond to any situation and make any required adjustments to accommodate the situation. When I moved from quiet suburban North Carolina to a fast-paced, noisy city like New York, I learned that ability. In a complicated facility, several nurses need to grab tools and know their way through convoluted hallways, and I have adapted these skills by traveling quickly through a congested city. This was far from the experience in North Carolina that I once had. Arriving in a new place and making friendships was more comfortable than expected. I became more social and fell in love with meeting new people. Nurses meet new people daily and need to be friendly and care for them. For me, there is nothing more suitable than being a nurse. I’m a dedicated and compassionate person who cares about those around me. I will become a nurse and help people, even if that means risking my life for them. By pursuing this career, I will make a difference in many people’s lives worldwide, regardless of gender, sex, race, or any other identity. Every patient deserves a nurse who can follow these ideals and ensures their well-being. I believe that nurse is me.
