In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports.
I am pleased and honored to recommend Francisca Donkor for entry into the Nurse Corps Scholarship program. She is one of the most phenomenal employees I have encountered. Ms. Donkors' work here at New York Presbyterian is impressive. Always on time, has a good attendance record, and is ready to work. She has a keen interest in helping people, and for this reason, she's a suitable candidate to commit to and serve underprivileged populations.
I felt fortunate to have attended the session with Bonnie, an epitome for an ideal hospice care provider. She demonstrates an ability to connect anyone in personal level and with full attention; thereby, making both the recipients and their family feel cared. As she shared her experience, it was reflected that she made sure the care is provided to the patients spiritually; and other needs are also taken care of. Bonnie joined hospice care after realizing the previous career of a social worker was not fulfilling. It was inspiring that she reflected it is never too late to change a career trajectory.
These internships helped me get an inside perspective of how nurses go above and beyond their everyday duties to ensure patient care, setting a standard for me to go above and beyond in terms of my education, my service to others, and in life. With the changes in college tuition having increased and state support for college students having taken a decrease over the last couple of years, this scholarship would benefit me tremendously in my goals to continue my education.
Congress formally established the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908, an organization that has proven to be an instrumental and integral part of the United States Navy. At the time of the Corps ' establishment, only twenty nurses were selected, and answering their nation 's call, they served with distinction. During WWII, through their valiant efforts, female nurses went on to be recognized as having the same authority as their male counterparts. From WW1 to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the navy nurse corps has put a lot of time and effort to quickly rise to the top of their profession. They provide care for military service members and their families but also for people in need around the globe.

Healthcare and giving back to my community has always been a goal that is close to my heart. While I attended my first University, I formed a volunteer program to help the children of Prison inmates to find pen pals. I spent my High School years giving back to my community, competing and winning UIL Academic events, taking college courses and being awarded rigorous philanthropic awards to honor my achievements. When I entered High School and college, I began to actively partake in a multitude of Healthcare volunteer opportunities’ and leadership roles. Every year in High School, I was blessed with the honor of Class President and once I reached my junior year of High School, I took it upon myself to strive for bigger goals.
I am requesting this scholarship to help pursue my dream to become a registered nurse to be able to help and lead others. I want to be able to help people get well. Also to give premature babies a voice to be heard, and to be healthy to survive. I have always wanted to be a nurse ever since my twin and I were born at twenty-nine weeks in critical condition. We beat the odds and became two healthy baby girls.
I have decided to pursue nursing and apply for the second degree accelerated nursing program; I consider myself a highly motivated individual with a value of strong work ethic. I can certainly distinguish myself as a person with numerous interests, a range of skills and goals. My Goals are to become a highly skilled nurse, work for the united state military and help save lives. Just like my father, I would love to provide a great humanitarian service, not for the pay or the glory or the recognition but to save lives, give hope, provide care, love and touch
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.
After the sudden loss of my oldest brother in 2011, my life changed in the blink of an eye. While trying to overcome this heartbreaking experience was one of the most challenging things ever faced with, his death soon turned into a true inspiration to me. Not only do I cherish all the memories I was able to share with him over the years, I soon came to realization that tomorrow is not a promise to anyone and to live life to the fullest. With this being said, having the opportunity to have an impact on someone everyday whether through communication, actions and/or attitude to help heal is something very powerful to me. Nursing is a profession that allows individuals to open new doors to learn something new and making the best of everyday for each
All my life I 've wanted to take part in the medical field, to be involved in helping others, and to make someone else smile. I believe that being part of this program will allow me to do that in a very meaningful way. The chance to volunteer at Memorial Hermann will allow me to care for others while achieving my short and long-term goals. This opportunity will be my first step into the world of HOSA, medical school, and the hope of becoming an OBGYN. Memorial Hermann is a leading edge medical institution I want to surround myself in and grow at.
Often in life, we come across situations that may stretch us and challenge us, finding ourselves forced to get out of our comfort zone. Volunteering is definitely not for everyone, people may not have the adequate time, confidence, knowledge. But that does not mean you avoid the situation at all times, you must allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience things that you would never think about doing. On the first week of volunteering it was a bit intense for me, as I found it difficult and little bit sad to watch the women living the way they do, for some reason I felt that they were always missing their children and grandchildren. Some of the residents did not even have family so they never got visitations.
As a first generation student to attend college from a family of seven, the journey to a higher education has been arduous and overwhelming. My family gives me all the encouragement I need and are very optimistic about pursuing a higher degree. Unlike myself, my parents did not have the opportunity to attend college. My parents were born and raised in a small town in Mexico where the highest level of education they received was fifth grade. I have worked since I was 14 years old to support my parents with bills, and also saving for college and my own vehicle.
I was not born into the world to do everything, but I was born into the world with great intentions; intentions to make a difference, to be an outstanding leader, ambassador, and advocate to serve and give back to the society. Ever since I have known myself, I have always wanted to become a nurse. A hardship that has made me stronger is, after my first semester in the pre-nursing
