I have always been around the world of health care. My mom has her master's degree in nursing and is almost done with her Ph.D. in nursing. My dad is a funeral director and owns his own business. I have seen both sides of the living and dead within the world of healthcare. I always thought I would become a veterinarian until I started to understand my medical condition, Type One Diabetes. I became interested in medicine and want to help people when they need it the most. Nursing has been a generational career on my mom's side of the family. My grandmother was a nurse for many years until she died, and my mom is a nurse passionate about patients with mental health illnesses. I thought about working with children with mental illness but always returned to juvenile diabetes. I have always thought about what I would do as a career if I did not have my medical condition. My illness has tremendously influenced why I want to go into nursing and help people in the same condition. I hope to pursue a pediatric nursing career to help other children with Type One Diabetes. Getting diagnosed when I was 18 months old was life-changing for my parents. I do not remember because I was too young, but I never got to experience the world before diabetes. I used to get so angry because I did not understand this disease that I have, and I hope to help other children go through that process of anger. It is better to connect with a provider when they have the disease themselves. Doctors and nurse practitioners have told me that I need to do better, but they do understand that this disease is an everyday change. They do not know that there will be good and bad days. I hope to be able to help children with this condition get through those challenges. They can do everything they put their minds to, and this disease does not have to stop them from doing their passions. I am passionate about nursing because my career goal is to become a nurse practitioner specializing in endocrinology and diabetes. I want to make a difference in a child's life since I had a nurse practitioner do the same. I believe you cannot make a change in someone's life if you have never been in their shoes. I had a special connection with her because she was a Type One Diabetic. She understood my moments because she had them herself. I used to hate this disease, but I had a moment when the switch flipped, and I wanted to help others with the same condition. I want to be there when they finally find a cure for Type One Diabetes because I have had it for almost eighteen years. I hope that one-day diabetes will be in the past and has a cure because it affects multiple people worldwide, even if they have fancy diabetic medical equipment like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. I am currently at Lee College, finishing my prerequisites for nursing school. I am applying to Lee College's nursing program to earn an ADN degree. I am also applying to San Jacinto College for their nursing program, which is an associate's program. If I do the ADN program, I will get that degree, turn around, and get my BSN from a school that provides an RN-BSN program. My main and third option is to apply to St. Thomas University in Houston to earn my Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN).
