Dashanna K. McNeil Memorial Scholarship
When I was 8 my parents got divorced, leading me to grow up in single parent household.I took most of the responsibility as the oldest to take care of my younger siblings.To care for them , feed them , and clean the house.Because, my dad was always working night shifts as a CNA. I believe the struggles I have felt before had inspired me to go into a career in which you are selfless, intelligent, passionate, and caring. All of these traits can be pertained to a single career ; nursing. I would love to be a nurse practitioner, the idea of attaining knowledge that can help someone in their hardest times , gives me chills.I admire nurses as being the backbone of any hospital.Specifically I am thinking of going into the ER. I am still a senior so this is subject to change.By attending clinical's I hope to solidify the specific area of nursing. I don't expect getting my master to be an easy journey, but I am willing to give the time and effort to succeed.I do believe that I will be worth it in the end , but till then I will take it one step at a time and remind myself that there are many lovely ladies that have been in my shoes before.
