I am currently a student at Lipscomb University, Nashville Tennessee. I am a Nursing student with a CGPA f 3.88. I plan to pursue a medical degree right after my nursing degree because of my passion for health care. Growing up in a country with one of the fastest growing populations in Africa yet a poor health care system with its citizens dying due to incommensurate health care, I decided I want to make a difference. In Nigeria, women, men, children, and babies die because of a poor health system. These observations have helped shape my passion to study a course that plays a role in health care. I want to fill the gap and be that medical doctor with a difference. My medical experience at Euracare Multispecialist Hospital, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, drew me closer to my passion now I decided this is who I want to be. I learned various perspectives and different approaches used to explain different healthcare issues, and how they impact family, occupation, other aspects of the environment, culture, and our well-being. Learning about how to investigate current healthcare issues through research using various methodologies has improved my research skills and makes me want to go further in t I also wanted to impact my community and advocate for the overlooked and under-represented. So, I set my sights on a career in the medical field and further my education by pursuing a medical degree. I chose this career because it affords me the freedom and flexibility needed to help my community in any medical specialty I choose. My goal is to help and protect minorities who face roadblocks when seeking health care. I plan to specialize in primary care to help improve minority access to care, increase patient satisfaction and provide quality care to those in need. Due to being in such a rigorous program, my only chances to work are often limited to one to two-week breaks between semesters, spending 20 hours a week grinding for the money to purchase supplies for the upcoming semester. This scholarship will help to lower the financial burden I experience trying to pay for books, medical equipment, and study tools out of pocket, thus giving me more time to rest, recuperate and prepare for the next semester of courses. I believe this degree would place me in rooms where I can be involved in the lives of patients, being that medical doctor with a difference!

Learning about how to investigate current healthcare issues through research using various methodologies has greatly improved my research skills. Working in the hospital gave me insight into what supporting individuals is involved. I worked with both children and adults and I had to support them emotionally, physically and mentally. Being responsible for their medical records, and interpreting them in simple terms for those who needed more clarification gave me a sense of fulfillment which made me realize how rewarding a career in Health care can be. Some of the policies I had to follow such as keeping service users' records confidential, treating them with dignity and respect and reporting to authorities if we noticed anything that we felt was out of place taught me the importance of duty of care. I have volunteered to take care of babies and children where I worked in the child welfare unit in a small group back in Nigeria. I learned how to work under pressure while being accommodating of other people’s ideologies. Skills like these are important as I will be relating with people of different backgrounds while trying to help them. This taught me to build trust as it will be a major skill in my career journey. I also worked in retail, and this helped to improve my people skills by knowing how to properly interpret the needs of individuals and meet them. I learned the importance of teamwork as rubbing minds with my colleagues helped me view situations from different perspectives. Volunteering for a youth charity, Street Doctors, which teaches young people emergency lifesaving skills, has helped me see the need to do my bit as a member of society. As a result of being a part of various organizations and courses I have studied, I have acquired various skills that would prepare me for my desired undergraduate degree. I believe that at the end of the course, I would be awarded the platform to the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people while empowering them to get the help they need to make positive decisions about their future.

I also worked in retail, and this helped to improve my people skills by knowing how to properly interpret the needs of individuals and meet them. I learned the importance of teamwork as rubbing minds with my colleagues helped me view situations from different perspectives. Volunteering for a youth charity, Street Doctors, which teaches young people emergency lifesaving skills, has helped me see the need to do my bit as a member of society. As a result of being a part of various organizations and courses I have studied, I have acquired various skills that would prepare me for my desired undergraduate degree. I believe that at the end of the course, I would be awarded the platform to the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people while empowering them to get the help they need to make positive decisions about their future. Emile Durkheim once said, “each generation is reared by its predecessor; the latter must therefore improve to improve its successor. The movement is circular”. I believe this degree would place me in rooms where I can be involved in the lives of patients, being that nurse with a difference.

PERSONAL STATEMENT Growing up in a country with one of the fastest growing populations in Africa yet a poor health care system with its citizens dying due to incommensurate health care, I decided I want to make a difference. In Nigeria, women, men, children, and babies die as a result of a poor health system. These observations have helped shape my passion to study a course that plays a role in health care. During my one-year experience at Euracare Multi specialist Hospital, Victoria Island, Lagos, I had the opportunity to experience different kinds of scenarios that happened both day and night relating to patients, I was able to learn and interpret lab results and for me, I wanted more. I wanted to fill the gap, and be that nurse with a difference. My experience drew me closer and closer to my passion now I decided this is who I want to be. I also learned the learning process never ends hence my pursuit to be a Nurse Practitioner. I learned various perspectives and different approaches used to explain different healthcare issues, and how they impact family, occupation, other aspects of the environment, culture, and our well-being. Learning about how to investigate current healthcare issues through research using various methodologies has greatly improved my research skills. Working in the hospital gave me insight into what supporting individuals is involved. I worked with both children and adults and I had to support them emotionally, physically and mentally. Being responsible for their medical records, and interpreting them in simple terms for those who needed more clarification gave me a sense of fulfillment which made me realize how rewarding a career in Health care can be. Some of the policies I had to follow such as keeping service users' records confidential, treating them with dignity and respect and reporting to authorities if we noticed anything that we felt was out of place taught me the importance of duty of care. I have volunteered to take care of babies and children where I worked in the child welfare unit in a small group back in Nigeria. I learned how to work under pressure while being accommodating of other people’s ideologies. Skills like these are important as I will be relating with people of different backgrounds while trying to help them. This taught me to build trust as it will be a major skill in my career journey.
