On my leisure time I enjoy spending time with my daughter and going to the beach. Along with shopping and eating, I love dancing to music and going to concerts when I can. I enjoy things that have to do with history, like biographical movies and going to museums. I also like going to see the ballet with my daughter. Growing up in a moderately lower income household I did not get to do a lot of the things I wanted to; such as going to dance class. I continued school to have a better life for myself and my daughter in which she could enjoy the things I could not. I like to think of myself as a very determined person, as a young adult I was very independent and responsible, in which I had gotten a job at the bank while I was still in high school and took care of payments. When I start something I always finish and I do not let anything or anyone get in the way of my goals. My goal is to graduate and become an RN and gain experience completing different tasks in nursing, whether it is to work in a nursing home or hospital. I later want to become a travel nurse and maybe do accounting on the side; such as, taxes. Nursing is something that is available to a wide variety of people, it is forever changing along with new technology and advancements. I am glad to be a part of something that has come a long way and helps so many

My clinic observation gave me a different look on nursing.
