Personal Narrative: A Career As A Nurse

Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, once said, “I attribute my success to this:—I never gave or took an excuse.” That is an outlook on life I try to live up to. I have had a few set backs in my college career to keep me from achieving my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I could have easily given up on my dream but I took those hardships and turned them into fuel to keep going. My father suffered a massive heart attack and went into cardiac arrest when I first started college. It completely flipped by life upside down. I spent weeks at a time in the hospital with him. Seeing him go in and out the hospital for years reaffirmed my need to become a nurse and help others like how those nurses took care of my father. Once I

We live in a world where the human race seems to be disconnected. Nowadays it feels that there are not enough people helping each other. I don’t treat life like a competition I look at it and I ask myself how may I help? What may I do to make this world a more suitable place for all to live a comfortable and peaceful life? I yearn to come forward and fulfill my role and contribute to our society in any way possible. Nursing is my calling for helping others. It sounds cliché, this I know, but it’s what I desire and what I decided to do with my body, mind, and soul.

People said they were Mayella Ewell's" (17.195). Mayella Ewell plants the geraniums in the Ewell household in order to see something of quality happening in her life. Furthermore, the geraniums represent a need for beauty in Mayella Ewell’s life, and a need to brighten the lives of those around her. “A young girl walked to the witness stand. As she raised her hand and swore that the evidence she gave would be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help her God, she seemed somehow fragile-looking, but when she sat facing us in the witness chair she became what she was, a thick-bodied girl accustomed to strenuous labor”(18.204). Geraniums symbolize esteem and gentility in the world of flowers. Similarly, Mayella Ewell symbolizes esteem and gentility by being strong despite being poor. "I got somethin' to say an' then I ain't gonna say no more. That nigger yonder took advantage of me an' if you fine fancy gentlemen don't wanta do nothin' about it

The letter was in penciled printing and said “look out at what used to be your roses.” That's when Miss Strangeworth looked outside to see her no longer beautiful roses. It is shocking to find out that someone would do this since even Main Streets tourists admired these roses.

“That’s alright, I know what it means.” he had smiled lightly, and softly taken the flower from the blushing boys’ hands, only to snip the stem with the nearby clippers, and reached forward to put it behind Dipper’s ear.

It was a Wednesday night and my mother had left for her job at Manor Care again. The house felt hollow, mimicking my state of mind. I was lonely and could not find anything to occupy my time. I did not have any siblings and I was left all by myself in our home. Before she left, my mother said to me, “Najee, this is only temporary until I become a Registered Nurse.” Although I was happy that my mother wanted to pursue her career dreams, for me, the nights by myself filled me with an unparalleled void. I had this lingering feeling that I was locked in a bubble, insulating me from the outside world. A once happy boy had turned into a sad child; I had lost my joie de vivre. I no longer had any positive emotions towards anyone or anything. As a result, my grades began to slip and my once stellar academic record turned into something that I knew was not reflective of the type of student I was.

She replied, “It's been a long time since anyone sent me roses, but I can't go to lunch.
