Reflection Paper

After graduating Anacortes High school I plan on attending a four year private liberal arts university. I will be pursing a Bachelors of Science in Nursing leading to a career as a Registered Nurse. My main interest is a specialty in pediatrics. Following a month stay at Children's Hospital after enduring emergency surgery and a difficult recovery I decided nursing is what I'm meant to do. The nurses inspired me, and I hope that I can help a family and child in the same way that they helped

The most important thing you need to know about me is that I am very family-oriented. My family means everything to me. I am a stay-at-home mother of three children, two boys and a girl who are seven, three, and two respectively. My husband, a firefighter in Mobile, and I have been married for over four years. Going back to school was a huge decision to make; but, I wanted to better myself for my family. I have always wanted to work in the medical field, so choosing a degree in nursing was easy. I graduated from Baker High School in 2006, then I attended the University of South Alabama for two semesters, and then I decided to take a break to focus on my family. After my first son was born, I stayed home with him for a year, then I went to work as a preschool teacher. I love working with children, so my goal is to work in the labor and delivery department as a Registered Nurse or work in the nursery with the newborn babies. After I finish my Associate’s Degree in Nursing, I plan on going back to school to get my Bachelor’s Degree and then, eventually, my Master’s Degree in Nursing.

On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.

I see myself working as a Licensed Practical Nurse and transitioning to a Registered Nurse. I have had experience doing community service at the Claiborne County Senior Care Nursing Home and Claiborne County Medical Center through the Claiborne County Technical Center completing a high school course in vocational education in the field of Health Science II. My biggest challenges transitioning from high school to college will be having good study habits, paying close attention to what is being taught in class, taking good notes and utilizing free time to study. College will be different than High School but I am confident I will succeed in my future endeavors because I can do anything when I put my mind to it this is what I had to do all through school. Eventually I will be on my own so I need to have a good education so that I can support myself even though my mother will help me. I think college is an awesome opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and meet new people. Therefore, I need to make sure that I surround myself with good friends whom I can trust to bring out the best in me and I will have my twin sister by my side to help keep me on track. College is not cheap so to be considered for a scholarship will mean so much to me and my

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 plan to work very hard and prepare to take my nursing licensure exam at the beginning of next year to become licensed as a registered nurse. I will then transfer to Metropolitan State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.

My name is Diana Jimenez I’m currently twenty-one years old. Since I was young I would always say I would be the first to attend college no matter what it took. Although I did not make it to a university I was still determined to reach my dreams no matter how long it took me. Despite the fact that I had no moral support or any money to go to college I still knew that was my number one priority after I graduated high school. I have come a long way in completing my six semester in community college. But I will have to say my dedication and drive to graduating as a Registered Nurse despite all the obstacles I had to face has put me where I am today. Thanks to my dedication I have grown to be a better student in all aspects, and now I go to college

My name is Carmen Clipner. I am a junior attending Ohio University Zanesville. I am studying to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. I am going on thirty and I was in school before for with this same career choice, but I decided at that time that I was not sure that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I dropped out. Now I’m for sure this is what I’m meant to do and it has been a long journey and is going to be well worth it in the end. I want to help people and be a part of saving people’s lives and feel like I made a difference in my lifetime and that my time was well spent and meaningful. My goal

While attending the University of Alabama, I will be pursuing a degree in nursing. Upon graduation, I plan to pursue a career as a NICU nurse. Currently, I am a hardworking senior who is very involved in student life at my high school. Moreover, I plan on continuing being involved during college and getting to know as many people as possible. I enjoy cheerleading, hanging out with family, and relaxing by the beach. I am the head captain of the varsity cheerleading squad at my

I'm in school now, studying to be a nurse and just taking general electives. In five years, I will be already graduated and have a nursing job. It's long time away but I know I will get there.

I am very excited for the future. Graduation is approaching and it feels as if everything is happening at once. Lately I have been very stressed out. I now want to change my major. Instead of majoring in Biology I want to pursue nursing and continue going to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. I have been reflecting on my values more and more every day causing me to change my mind. It is very nerve racking because I am still young, and I hope I am making the right decision.

Considering all of my lessons this semester, my main strength would be modeling the lesson for the students and praising the students with positive reinforcement. I feel as the students remained engaged and they were always willing to participate, which allowed them to meet all of the objectives in my lesson. I was impressed with how well much the students remembered and understood from my lessons. I presented the instruction and goals for the lesson prior to beginning the activity. During the lesson, I frequently asked the students questions in order for the students to remain thinking as well as focused.

We all grow up differently, with a different background and story that follows but, it’s not likely reading and writing are a factor to who we are. When I was two years old, I was consistently having surgeries on my right hand because of my hand disorder called syndactyly. I was used to having help consistently, never honestly did the work for myself but, as time progressed into the fifth grade the reality of school hit me hard. I had a cast on my arm from surgery and was dreadfully struggling to keep up in any of my classes. I failed math that same year and, was clinging to social studies an English by a thread. I was surrounded around intelligent role models yet, I was struggling and didn't take school serious enough. That summer was my final summer before entering into middle school which meant I had to do a summer assignment called “Summer Reading”. Two books, two pages of summaries, for both journal logs, and much more, I wasn't hopeful that I could do it by myself. had much pride that somebody wowed do it for me.

Do you remember what your priorities were when you were eight years old? When I was that age (1965), I was in third grade. One of my jobs was to make breakfast on weekday mornings for some of my younger brothers and sisters. At that age, my primary goal was to figure out ways to get out of work around the house, so I could go outside and play with my cousins who lived in the neighborhood.

Growing up, I identified as just African because I spent most of my childhood in Africa. Since getting back to the United States, I now identify as African-American. Though I believe I might be bisexual, I still classify myself as heterosexual.

“We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.” –Winston Churchill. I do remember my late grandfather narrating alluring anecdotes from his time in the Indian Air Force and a few of my late great grandfather’s heroics while he served in the British Army (1917-1946). I slowly started to develop a taste for war-time stories, military history as a whole which always intrigued me, possibly because of my family lineage. I am always curious to learn more about our past, about the mistakes made by our forefathers that however frivolous they may seem or sound but were enough to instigate a war.
