My intended major is Nursing. I decided I want to be a nurse based on a few things. The first reason I chose nursing is because of the opportunities. As a nurse there are many opportunities with the job including  joining the military, traveling, managing, and specializing in different categories of nursing. The second reason I chose nursing is because I am pretty good at caring for people. I tend to put others before me and make sure everyone is doing okay before considering myself. The third reason, and most important reason, is my grandmother. My grandmother, who I was really close with, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer a couple years ago. After the diagnosis of my grandmother I watched the various caretakers around her and did some caretaking of my own with her. Seeing the various people taking care of her made me realize how happy it would make me to do that for other people. I don’t have much experience in the field other than taking anatomy in high school, but nursing isn’t all anatomy. I am excited to learn more about the field and hopefully do well enough that I get accepted into the program at Old Dominion University.
