I've always known that I wanted to pursue a career in the healthcare field, I've always been drawn to how healthcare professionals provide care, and treatment, and are devoted to saving lives. Only recently is when I officially decided I was going to attend college for a nursing degree. By choosing Nursing as my future major I believe that I am choosing a rewarding profession that can help me to combine my love for healthcare with my desire to help others. Healthcare professionals are always working to impact the world, and becoming a nurse will help me do just that, upon becoming a nurse I plan to use my knowledge to help others by educating families on healthy choices, By choosing the Nursing field I can make sure to work to improve patient care and the outcomes no matter the nursing field that I choose. With choosing a nursing major there will be several obstacles that I will have to overcome. One of the major obstacles in college will include learning how to balance the stress of academic and personal responsibilities while maintaining that motivation to learn in college. To work towards overcoming this obstacle I plan to utilize all of my resources, which means seeking help and support from my professors and any tutoring available to me. Another big obstacle I will face will include financial challenges, whether it be tuition, textbooks, or housing. I have already started working towards this obstacle working hard to achieve the grades that will help me to receive and scholarships towards college. Some of the passions that I enjoy are reading and volunteering. When I discovered that I love reading I also learned that it helps with my overall mental health, reading helps relieve some of my stress and it helps me to widen my perspective on how I understand and see the world. Reading can also help to learn about how different cultures work and gain new perspectives. Reading can ultimately be a good source of comfort and inspiration. One of the places that I love to volunteer at is called Feeding Children Everywhere, which is an organization that works to provide nutritious meals to children and families who may not have access to healthy food options. I enjoy volunteering there in my spare time because it helps me to continue to give back to my community and hopefully make someone's day.
