As the bus entered the heavily guarded military instillation, I gazed upon the sign that read, "Be All that You Can Be." When the bus stopped, several angry Drill Instructors boarded and began introducing us to a very colorful vocabulary, usually reserved for drunken Sailors. They instructed us to gather our belongings, get off the bus and assemble in a circular formation. As I searched for the strength to get up, I found myself moving, while several Drill Instructors yelled at us for our clumsy attempt to dismount the bus and fall into formation. I wondered if I had made the right choice. However, I have come to realize that my military experiences have tremendously enhanced my self-worth. From those first eight

As a nursing a student, my ultimatum is not to make the most money as possible, it is to obtain the most knowledge as possible. Indeed, nursing school introduced me to a new side of learning and studying, and at often time were quite difficult. Reflectively thinking, it opened a new way of thinking for me. At this point, I have successfully passed my first semester of nursing school, and have accepted the gratitude that I am capable of anything I put my mind to. In other words, my long terms became my short terms. Beginning of nursing school, I limited my goals to successfully passing my classes and becoming a Registered Nurse as my ultimate goal. Now, my short-term goal includes joining the United States Air Force as a 2nd lieutenant, titled Registered Nurse.

The past two years in the community college have been great. I have learned a lot from my well respected instructors and my peers. So now, I want to transfer to a four year college and continue to grow, broaden my understandings and improve my communication skills. Now I'm about to complete my associate in science program at Trident Technical College, in Charleston, South Carolina, where I have been successful academically and socially. During this time I was a peer tutor which furthered my knowledge of the United States and its culture all while working part time jobs. These experiences have contributed to my education as a whole. My goal is to transfer to a university and attain my bachelor’s degree in Nursing. Becoming a nurse is a goal that I have had for quite some time having seen the lack of healthcare in a developing country and the vast needs of the people. I believe it is a great profession that would allow me to be a catalyst for change while allowing me to show compassion to people and help them. Saving other people’s lives is a great incentive for me, because I came from coming from a country where people die from contaminated water, lack of food, clothing and less than sanitary conditions in some areas. Once I finish my BSN, I want to pass the knowledge I've learned to others and help those who are in need. I want to be able to help the people of the United States and Africa, especially my country home, Ethiopia. It is sad to see people not getting treatments and dying of disease.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner Student (FNP) at Frontier Nursing University (FNU). My passion to care for people was evident when I was growing up and I knew I wanted to become a nurse and care for the sick when I cared for my grandmother who was not feeling well. After high school, I started my career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) and worked with the elderly population which I really enjoyed. I worked as a CNA as I enrolled to school and earned my Associate degree in nursing in 2011. As an RN, I continued to work in a nursing home and rehab facility with the elderly as I decided to pursue my BSN. Upon completion of my BSN I found a job at a hospital in cardiac telemetry heart failure unit where I enjoy working as I care for people.

When I graduated from high school, I had a different career path, which was to become a physician assistant. I obtained my Bachelor of Science from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006 and then attended Virginia Tech in the fall of 2006 to take prerequisites prior to applying to graduate school. I was attending Virginia Tech when the April 16, 2007 school shootings occurred. This was an especially difficult time being surrounded by so much heartache. However in the face of this heartache was hope, hope in humanity. The community came together in such despair to provide comfort and healing. The incident really made me evaluate my life and as a result, I decided to take a break from school. I had minimal health care work experience at this time and wanted to gain knowledge before starting graduate school. This life-changing experience and break led to my discovery of nursing. A year later I began the registered nursing diploma program at Sentara College of Health Sciences. Nursing school was the first time I had hands-on patient care. It was not until I had my license and began working on the floor did I truly start blossoming as a nurse. I have grown substantially and have never felt as comfortable as I do being a nurse. It validates my decision

Since I was a young kid I have wanted to attend the United States Military Academy. I have always wanted to, and felt a need to serve my country in the military. As I got older I learned about some amazing men who have graduated from West Point like Robert E. Lee, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ulysses Grant. These men are some of the most famous men in American history and I want to contribute to our country's success just like these men. I believe there is no better way to honor my country then by becoming an active duty Army Officer.
