But before I realized that wasn’t for me, I looked into, after undergrad and medical school, becoming a neonatal physician and again the more I thought about it the less confident I was going that route. What I did know was that while I may not have wanted to work in that specific profession, I did want to work with children, families, women and girls, and the underprivileged. So after taking the

As an undergraduate student at NSU, I feel the necessity of exploring new opportunities, especially if they will bring benefits to my career. After discussing my educational goals with my academic advisor, I have decided to change my major from Biological Sciences to Applied Professional Studies (APS).

I was inspired of how a nurse, doctor, physician, therapist, nutritionist and so much more specialist can just help another person’s life by the knowledge they have encoded; to make a person feel happy without evening having a real bond with them. I have always been passionate about working in the medical field. When I finally hit my junior year in high school I’ve never been more interested in this field. I started taking courses directing me towards the medical field such as, medical terminology, chemistry and the nursing assistant class offered at East High School.

Upon my arrival at NIH as a volunteer when I was 17, I noted the immense lack of opportunities for high school students interested in a profession in the clinical research realm. I took the initiative to express these concerns to my supervisor and at that very moment I was assigned to the creation of a proposal of a Medical Discovery Program, which seeks to engage students early and expose them to the different career opportunities at the Clinical Center in the world’s largest medical research facility. Our proposal was successfully approved by the Director of the Clinical Center at NIH. Executing such an incredible project was a difficult task but was most definitely a truly exceptional journey. Our program had a phenomenal first year; our students had the opportunity to connect with renowned clinician scientists and collaborate with 75% of departments at the Clinical Center and our second year program is now underway.

I recall the first day of school when our teachers bombarded us, mere freshmen, on what our plans were. I knew I wanted to attend college, go to medical school, and eventually conduct my own research. But what I never thought about was how I would strive to instill in myself this passion for medicine. Never did I imagine standing on a stool glancing at the work of a skilled surgeon as he delicately placed a new heart in the patient’s thoracic cavity. Never did I intend on participating in a State competition for potential healthcare professionals with whom I shared similar ambitions with.

My Intent to Be a Nurse Practitioner Coming from a third world country where there aren’t many opportunities for work and funding for education, proceding to nursing school was a grand opportunity. The privilege to attend a government subsidized school where top students in the region compete to get into the program that allowed only 60 students per year was indeed a blessing. As clinical rotations began, what was once considered a mere opportunity evolved into a true passion for caring as I truly love and enjoy nursing and helping people.

During this time, I noticed the difference in care provided between the doctor and the nurse. The nurse offered a more trusting relationship, emphasized the use of holistic care, and provided empathy, which was much appreciated. Thereafter, I began volunteering at Lowell General Hospital and experienced my own interpersonal relationships with the outpatients. I felt truly satisfied during my time there, as I was able to apply my values and experience the gratitude and warmth that radiated from each patient that I helped. Therefore, I chose to pursue a career in nursing, as it is similarly based on my own beliefs and makes me feel like I make a difference in the lives of every person that

The Bachelor of Health Sciences that I will receive from the University of Florida in the near future has greatly impacted my life in ways that I could have never imagined. One of the fundamental ways in which this degree has altered my life was its ability to influence my career choice. Before beginning the latter half of my degree, I was stubbornly dedicated to getting into medical school and working towards becoming a physician. And then classes such as public health concepts, U.S. healthcare system, ethical and legal issues in healthcare, and survey of diseases and disability piqued my interest, unlike any classes that I had taken prior to fulfill my medical school requirements. These health science classes were far more interesting and
