Hello, my name is Jay Davila. Today I would like to talk to you about my parents' impact on the community. I would like to say that they both are very vital to the community. With my father being in law enforcement, and my mother being part of the medical field. I would like to talk about my father's line of work first. My father works with the Border Patrol, and his job is really intense. He is expected to respond quickly to unpredictable situations and take action when necessary. When I was twelve years old my father told me a story about the cartel and their predictable tactics to get into the United States illegally. Unfortunately, my father can't stop them all, but I know he and his team try their best to sweep out all the illegal drugs they find. It's for the good of society if my father and his coworkers didn't put their lives on the line. The opioid epidemic would be more catastrophic, and local police departments wouldn't have the grip on criminals that they have today. To conclude my father's line of work is very intense, and not everyone can do it, we have to appreciate our Border Patrol. My mother's job is just as important as my father's job. My mother may not be on the front lines stopping the never-ending drug war, but her line of work is in the hospital. My mother just like my father is trained to act quickly in intense situations. For example, when the EMTs rush somebody into the emergency room my mother is one of the first nurses to start giving the patient medical attention. Once the patient has received medical attention, my mother usually keeps up to date with the patient by taking their vital signs, and tracking their intake, and output. After she follows protocol, she goes to make sure all of her patients feel safe, optimistic, healthy, and happy. If it were not for my mother and her fellow nurses, I don't think many lives in the community would be saved. We need to value our health care workers they do so much for our community, and the best thing we can do in return is to thank them for everything they do. Now that I have explained how my parents impact the community, I would like to discuss with you how your investment in my education will count. Just like my mother, I have aspirations to work in the emergency room not as an LVN but, as a Nurse Practitioner. I am currently enrolled in South Texas College in McAllen Texas, and I have maintained all A's in my classes since the start of the semester. My grades will not change, the nursing program in my college is competitive, and I want to pass the program. Once I reach my goal in return. I will continue to give back to my community and inspire my peers to be good members of society.
