Commitment is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity. I believe commitment is something that you place on things you value in life, one of those being for me is my future career as a pediatric nurse. Given the fact I love children and always been passionate to serve others, this profession is something I'm committing myself to. Growing up I was surrounded by other nurses within my family, they each had their own stories to share as why they loved what they did. Seeing their level of passion as well as commitment was something that radiated within each one of them and something I wanted to see in myself as I grew up. With this goal in mind I am continuing my education at Grayson College to obtain my RN degree to become a pediatric nurse. In high school I took 3 years of health sciences classes and 1 year of clinicals, I chose to take these classes to expand my medical abilities as well as my knowledge. While attending college working towards my degree, I want to work at TMC as a patient care tech. This will allow me to apply the things I am learning into the work force. My desire to apply at TMC was created during clinicals when I would work alongside the PCT's, shadowing them and learning their health care journeys. Attending Grayson and working at TMC is me fully committing myself to build my knowledge, skills, and character traits, I believe will be needed to become the positive aspect I want to be too those I am providing care to. Even after graduating college I will continue to grow in all I do to be the best for each and everyone of my patients. I am aware that this career will need me to show up everyday 100% committed to being patient, resilience, and empathetic. Working each day I want to create a safe, positive, and healing environment to who ever walking through the doors. I strive to make each children feel cared for, seen, and heard. Working with children will also require me to be able to communicate with their guardians. Building a bound with both the children as well as the guardians will be something I prioritize. Receiving this scholarship will allow me to focus on my education rather than the financial burden that will be placed on me. I am 100% committed to becoming a pediatric nurse and beyond excited to see the lasting impact I will be placing on the lives around me.
