Johns Hopkins is a place where I had my first time of everything; I studied, meet new people, acquired new skills and most importantly learned that I had a passion for something. Dissecting a real sheep heart, stuttering a pig's leg, certifying in CPR and utilizing the Da Vinci surgical system where some of few the things I did in just two weeks at Hopkins. Before meeting Johns Hopkins I was lost, had no idea what my interests where, nor what I was going to do with my life. Neither of my parents like the health industry, they are both businessmen but somehow I got attracted to the Fostering Healthy Communities summer class at Hopkins. Spending two weeks there showed me important skills that as person I should have, like empathy to others, and how working with a group will take you faster to success. Waking up early at Hopkins didn’t give me a sentiment of sadness, instead of gave me joy because I was passionate of what I was doing. At the summer program I went to an Alzheimer home, where a met a women that will be forever imprinted in my mind. For me she was my patient, and after speaking for hours with her, I felt a strong connection between us but, when we were done talking I realized she had forgotten everything I said. …show more content…
After Hopkins I joined almost all of the clubs available at my school and performed my best at all of them, I starting to get involve in community service and knew that my purpose was on helping the community I live in. All of this I learned with just 13 days at Hopkins and I can’t even imagine what I would learn with 5 years there. When I choose the summer class at Hopkins I thought it would be about diseases and health, but it was much more than that, it was a class that showed me the importance of civic engagement, social responsibility and the importance in helping the community. I learned not by lectures and readings, instead I learned by
Kansas, as well as the other new territories, was extremely valuable to both the North and South, increasing the tension between the two sides. The settlement of Kansas would throw off the unsteady balance in place between the slave and non-slave states. Regarding this balance, Guelzo describes, “Proslavery southerners wanted Kansas, because Kansas sat on the western border of Missouri; a free state would hem in slave state Missouri...eventually so weaken the pro-slavery influence in Missouri that Missourians might abandon slavery, turn Missouri into a free state, and cost the slave South several vital seats in Congress” (1084).The South was faced with a struggle against the North for territorial power. If Kansas became a free state, it would

Looking back, I regard attending WBU one of my best lifetime decisions. Before I discuss my experiences at WBU, it would be prudent to first give a brief background of myself. To begin with, I have had the opportunity of serving my country in the military and in a way; this has largely shaped my personality and my outlook of life. In that regard, I have come to appreciate the value of life more than ever before. Further, the time I have served in the military has taught me that success is possible in any facet of life with the right attitude, determination and personal sacrifice.
he short anecdote above accurately represents the situation of many students across the globe. Throughout the last decade, technology had exploded in a way so immensely that nothing and nobody can stop it. Not even educators. This is why taking the easy way out of assignments has become such a frequently used method by students everywhere. It is evident that students of this generation have become complacent in a “short-cut” society.
All supporting evidence from Atkinsons thesis is mainly supported by the changes in tactics and the outlook the Allies held during the war. The first example is when Atkinson wrote about how the North African war became a ripple effect for the allies “...first, North Africa; then, Italy; and finally the invasion of Normandy and the subsequent campaigns across France,...” all show the progress the Allies made in ground after the completed the North African War. The second example was when America actually forced to improve their military power as they entered this war. “...North America was a pivot point in the American History, the place where the United States began to act

During my first year I had the chance to experience both the community and hospital settings.
It has recently been brought to my attention that our school is looking to adopt a sustainable menu into our meal program and I would like to give my viewpoint on the matter. As one many students here at Oxford Academy this change will affect me directly. Although people may at first oppose this conversion I think if we are able to overcome the first obstacles, this change would bring a great positive impact to the environment and the health of our students.
While interning in the Children's Clinic, I had the incredible opportunity to go and visit the NICU. This program had also introduced me how to write a medical research paper. Mini med school gave me a lot of informative information everyday by health professions which they discussed about the ongoing medical issues and other problems like drug use and criminal issues our community is facing. I have also taken classes in High School such as Ap Biology, Ap chemistry, and AP Psychology that exposes me to everyday medical terminology that health professionals use. Information offered by these classes made it easier to communicate and understand doctors.I have taken every opportunity to better prepare myself to the challenges of the medical field. During the internship, I mainly focused on the nursing branch, I shadowed nurse practitioners and registered nurses in action and how they handled medical issues and was also given the opportunity to learn and ask about their challenges in nursing school and how they had overcome it. I was able to learn about the responsibilities and special skills required to be a nurse and received advices from the nurses on how to be successful in nursing school. I have also been self studying Human Physiology and Anatomy. Its the medical field that best describes me. I love to give back to my
Hap Arnold once stated, “Small minds want to defend everything. Intelligent men concentrate on the main issue, parry the heavy blows and tolerate small evils to avoid a greater one. He who wants to defend everything saves nothing” (Yenne, 2013). Henry Arnold’s father was a huge dominating figure who didn’t let his children speak at the dinner table. Through this, Arnold learned to submit to authority when necessary and to make his words count when he was afforded the opportunity to speak. Hap’s first assignment was in the Philippines as a sight surveyor in 1907.
Throughout today’s society, media contributes to almost everyone’s daily life.

Before this program I was working as a nurse in a surgical care unit and I did not fully understand why I did the things that I did or even why I became a nurse. This program changed my practice, for example, in the first class of the program, Transition to Professional Nursing I had to think for the first time in my personal philosophy of nursing and I discovered that to me, “nursing is a sacred work dedicated to the service of others, and requires a nurse’s deliberated commitment to inner spiritual growth to achieve
It was also a learning experience in terms of community health, as I had a chance to analyze certain health trends among Camden residents. I was able to observe the attempts of the Cooper University Hospital as well as the Cooper Medical School and the MDA Cancer Center to make healthcare more affordable to an underserved population. For instance, one of the best experiences in PULSE was my volunteering at the free clinic where CMSRU students attended to uninsured
Throughout high school, I always had a niche of people who shared my interests, like track and field, varsity football and choir. The University of Pittsburgh offers students with the best residential learning experience in the country by forming a tight-knit community among its diverse student body, assuring me that I will find my niche of people. In addition, the University of Pittsburgh offers the Living Learning Community of Health Sciences as part of its residential learning experience which will give me the ability to collaborate with people who share the same passion for medicine while providing opportunities to take part in training presentations and MCAT preparation workshops for graduate school. Outside of academics and research,
