Several years ago, my appendix nearly ruptured and I had to have surgery. At that time, the staff was caring, kind, and aware of my pain, and the environment was never boring. Everyone was in a rush, and there was never a dull moment. The atmosphere is exhilarating; nurses, doctors and emergency medical technicians are always in a rush to help patients. Afterwards, I realized I wanted to help people in the same way the medical personnel helped me.

To be able to pursue my dream, I hope to attend (School) because of the strong curriculum and capable instructors.

When I was an EMT, I had a few suicidal patients. Most of the patients wanted somebody to speak with, but they lost all hope that their problems cannot be solved. We were mandated to call authorities if a person wanted to put them self in danger or desiring to kill themselves. I felt that is was important to do so. It is important that we need to keep the client safe. I have no problem with doing what needs to be done, if the client would be helped through the process.

There are so many areas of clinical practice to choose from and at this point in my education as a PA student I am still unsure of where I will end up.
