From middle school until my senior year, I struggled with personal battles, self-reflection, and self-responsibility. I never considered what I could do better but instead focused on what others could do better. All these years, I was harassed, and I would always react poorly. This past year, I have had a person who helped me recognize the mistakes I was making. I again had the experience of someone harassing me and the friend who helped me through these problems. This person who pushed me and my friend put the test of new personal growth and maturity my friend had taught me. I applied everything I had learned and took in over the years of my life, and applied them. After the situation was put to rest, I realized how much better I felt and how much relief I felt from being mature enough to end the situation instead of pushing the problem. To this day, the person who started a lot of issues with me still harasses me and makes my life hard by harassing me in different classes. I have learned to deal with it and let them continue fuming over the lack of reaction I give them. This is a really big growth and step forward in my life because I could never take responsibility for anything, and this made me become kind and honest and realize my personal growth of overcoming something I could not accept for 12 years. Then, recently, after a lot of self-reflection, harassment, and working on myself, I have finally realized how much that advice means. So now I will always work hard to improve, reflect, and help others have it an easier way than I did because that important person in my life told me so, I should and will always listen to, my Mom.
I live in a house of seven people. I grew up constantly helping others and working around the house. Whenever I cleaned, helped my sister brush, or brushed my mom's hair,I found the movement of the human body, how it functions, and how treatments can improve the quality of life extremely intriguing. This topic inspired me to Major in Nursing.
I need to help others mainly because people have helped my brother overcome something difficult. Earlier this summer in July, my mom received a phone call from my older brother. He had called us to tell us he was being rushed to the hospital due to his fainting being so dramatic at a restaurant with his co-workers. We rushed over to Grand Rapids as fast as we could. As we got there, he was there on the hospital bed, and he looked majorly distressed. My Mom held his hand and stayed with him, and my Sister and I held hands on the couch. We were terrified. After waiting for a while a doctor me in after giving my brother an MRI, and they found a tumor in his head. My heart sank into my stomach, and I cried with my family in the room. The rest of my family were rushing on their way, and soon, they arrived. All five siblings and our family were in there supporting my brother. He came out and was in pain, and we all supported him. Then, after all his procedures and surgeries, he soon began physical therapy after nurses and surgeons helped him. The therapists helped him get back on his feet and he sent us updates on his progress. I want to help people like they helped my brother, nursing is my dream.
