My mother yelled at my aunt. Confronting her about what she allowed me to watch when I was bored at her house. I had just spent an hour and a half watching a YouTube video that contained a double knee replacement surgery. My mother thought I was traumatized; however, I was changed. I wanted to do what I just watched. I was inspired that one could be able to help people by healing their ailments, making them feel better. As a nursing major, I have research that has both prepared me and excited me for my future. Online resources have shown me both the physical trauma and mental trauma that I will have to face as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) in an emergency room. These tools have not only prepared me for the hardships of my future career, but they have also made me excited. I am so excited to become an NP because I will be able to help people who need it. I do not believe I would have been so sure of my major if I had not learned that I can help people. As a child, I have always wanted to be able to help people. I am always on the watch for ways to help people. However, it has always made me angry that I could not help people get better from whatever sickness they had. My first research experience was when my aunt showed me what a double knee replacement was through an informational video on YouTube. Although it was years ago, I remember how excited I got about learning how I could actually help people who are in pain and sick. This experience brought about my passionate curiosity about how people can be helped through medical intervention. Nursing is a very demanding career, so I have researched how I will have to live with a lack of sleep and tiring work. This has definitely tested me and whether I really wanted to help people in that way. However, it has caused more excitement than worry. I could not believe that I am able to help other people by providing medical care. I used to struggle with the fact that I couldn’t help sick people, especially with the sickness that eventually took the life of my grandmother. It made me so mad, but that anger lit a flame under me, which has been a major reason for my research. An online book that I found on Google Scholar directly told me about how the medical field has branched out and become a wider field, where I can decide on a specialty to satisfy my yearning to help sick or hurt people. Google also showed me the difference between each profession, which has allowed me to pick the profession that best suits me and my needs. Overall, the excessive hours of research and preparation have been worth it after learning that I could change the world by saving one life at a time.
