My Major

I am pursuing Nursing as my major.

When searching for who I wanted to be when I grow up, I knew that whatever career I choose it was going to be related to helping others and it was going to be a career where I felt challenged. I realized that nursing is a career that is full of caring for people and being someone who impacts peoples lives for the better, while helping them find comfort during their recovery. People started to tell me the difficulty and discipline it takes to go through Nursing school, but after hearing how passionate the nurses would speak about the work that they did, I knew that first, it was worth it and two, that I wanted to be a nurse, too.

I have not had the opportunity to volunteer or intern yet, but I had some personal experiences that continue to drive me. I plan to intern this summer in Florida with a geriatrics home care company.
