My name is Jayline Bustos, and I am a high school junior at Metro Tech High School. I have always been drawn to the field of healthcare because of my desire to help people and make a positive impact in my community. Growing up in a Hispanic family, I have seen firsthand the challenges that many people face when it comes to accessing quality healthcare. This has inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare, where I can work to improve the lives of others. I am particularly interested in studying nursing and medicine because these fields offer the opportunity to work directly with patients and provide them with the care and support they need. I believe that healthcare is not just about treating illnesses, but also about building relationships with patients and their families, and helping them navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. My future career goals include becoming a registered nurse or a doctor, where I can work in a hospital or community clinic setting. I am interested in specializing in areas such as pediatrics or family medicine, where I can work with diverse populations and address the unique health needs of different communities. I am also passionate about educating others about health and wellness, and I hope to use my career as a platform to advocate for health equity and access to care for all. I am drawn to schools like Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University because they offer strong programs in nursing and pre-med, and they are located in areas where I can continue to serve and learn from diverse communities. I am also considering Gateway Community College as a starting point for my education, as it offers practical training and a supportive learning environment. In pursuing a career in healthcare, I hope to combine my passion for helping others with my interest in science and medicine. I am committed to working hard to achieve my goals and to making a difference in the lives of those around me. I am excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead, and I am grateful for the chance to pursue my education and career in healthcare. I hope that by bettering my studies in my current CNA program, I could create a bigger impact on the world and really become what i aspire to be, a caring and loving nurse which all of patients will feel safe with.
