Motivation Touchstone Poem “For I am determined” I have lived a good bit of time searching for something meaningful I could not find. But, after contemplating in my mind, I realized it was in and around me all the time. I have worked as a police officer, mental health tech, pastor, even as a CNA (certified nursing assistant), I knew God was showing me that counseling therapy was the way. I prayed, ponder, and wondered how I was going to achieve my goal while I still aging and growing old, for I am determined. I believe, if I put forth my efforts with all my heart and soul, the goal that I set for myself will unfold, regardless if I am aging and getting growing old, for I am determined. With the NCU (Northcentral University) my goals are set
My current focus is entering the Respiratory Care program at Northeast Iowa Community College. A college degree will assist in ensuring that one day I can be an adult capable of facing adversity, capable of giving back to the community, and capable of being an example to others as my parents are to me. I do not expect the college experience to miraculously transform me into a knowledgeable adult. However, I am relying on it to help me grow, mature and learn.
In therapy, I discovered that I was codependent. I was constantly manipulated by my mother, desperately needing her approval, but to no avail. As I learned to cope with everything my mother had put and puts me through, I realized my self-worth. I was able to help people again. Not only could I help people again, but I willingly accepted help, especially from my therapist. I would talk for four sessions in a row with her never saying anything, and I would reach the conclusions to the problems myself. That’s when I realized that a therapist is exactly what I want to be for the rest of my life.
Throughout my entire life I have always sought to be the best version of myself that I can be. I believe that through hard work and dedication anything is accomplishable. From being the valedictorian and starting quarterback at my middle school, my love for academics and sports has motivated me to stay focused in my high school career and onwards.
All my life I’ve been trying to find my purpose. I always knew that my purpose in life was to help people, but I didn’t know how I really wanted to accomplish this. Upon graduating high school I was confused

Since I was little I’ve always wanted to go to that university and this year in AVID I got to visit USC so I was pretty thrilled having the chance to visit my dream university. My career goals for the future are between two decisions which are, becoming a nurse or becoming a veterinarian. My cousin is a nurse so that inspired me to get interested in the medical field. Also, I’ve always had curiosity about what veterinarians do. My dog Max got in a car accident during the summer which made my love for animals grow more and wanting to know more. It’s a hard choice on which path I want to take but I am thinking a lot more now about my career choices than when I was
My goal of finishing this degree is like a delicious sundae I have a long time building, yet have not let myself indulge in. Every accomplishment has become a topping, making it more appealing. Receiving a scholarship would be a cherry on this grand sundae I have been preparing and will one day delight in, not on my own, but in harmony with my remarkably enduring
Everyone in my family has attended college and has done something with their lives and I plan on continuing the cycle. In the fall of 2017 I will be attending Sam Houston State University. My major will be kinesiology because sports has always been a part of my life and I couldn’t imagine myself going through life without doing something related to sports.
I am a nursing student. I have a great passion for caring for others. My short term goals are to graduate Riverland Community College with my Associate's Degree in Nursing this December.

I will then transfer to Metropolitan State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.
My most prevailing goal during my college experience is to develop and improve my character so that I will be able to excel and succeed in my future career. I believe that my commitment to the common good these past few years has truly influenced my academic interest in pursuing a future career in Nursing. In college,
In my experience, I have found that life has a way of putting one exactly where he or she needs to be. I started my journey going back to school to help families get resources in order for their children to have all their needs met so that they can feel and become successful. I thought by getting my degree in Human Services that I would work with youth and families, however, after taking many addictions courses and with the advice of Dr. Dyer to challenge myself by trying something different for my capstone, I decided to go to Oceans Addiction and Recovery services (OARS).
Right out of high school I went into missions with an organization called Youth with a Mission. For two years I went to places such as Australia, Russia, Latvia, Fiji, and South Africa. I had planned to continue in missions until life threw me a curve ball and the place I thought I was supposed to go to rejected me. I came home and went through one of the darkest phases of my life. I felt like I had no direction and was not hearing from God. I started to feel more pulled towards college and- because of a trip we had taken to see my cousin in North Carolina when I was a baby- my mother remembered how highly she had thought of a college called Montreat. I looked into the school and there was such a pull towards it. I was not sure whether I wanted to do psychology or human services and they had a major that was both. After a visit in June I knew this was the place I was supposed to be
Life’s too short to wait and see what’s next, so let’s dive in and see my future. Many seniors often worry about tending a college after high school graduation. Just last week I started my senior year and I’m starting to get really excited. When I graduate in May, I plan on going to Hondros Community College in Columbus, Ohio to be a nurse practitioner. As I start college in the fall, there will be many setbacks, fears and people who motivate me.

To conclude, I will continue to strive for academic excellence to ensure I have the chance to make my aspirations a reality. I know I can develop my skills and knowledge into a force that will benefit those I provide for, much like the care Mary Ann and the patient I helped received during their stay at Huntington Hospital. For this reason, I am pursuing a baccalaureate degree in nursing.
