I want to become a professional in the Public Health field mainly to inform, educate, and help the community help themselves in this new world where diseases and health crisis are on the rise. I always felt as though this field chose me. At the age of fifteen, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Ten years ago, there weren't many types of research or information to help inform people living with this chronic illness. No help on how to keep the body functioning at an optimum level or how to help with the inflammation lurking throughout without only medication. I honestly feel that at fifteen if I was correctly informed and educated as well as I am now, I could have possibly helped myself from reaching the severity of this flare I am currently undergoing. After ten years this is my worst flare up and I truly believe that there were plenty of ways I could have intervened if only I'd known. I don't think the public has a very good …show more content…

I decided I wanted to be more behind the scenes and help others without them even realizing it. I don't want the recognition just the ability to make a difference. Throughout my undergrad career as a pre-med student, I was a certified nursing assistant working in a nursing home and it was so fulfilling for me to be able to these people get through their daily tasks that used to be so easy for them to accomplish. After that position came to an end I knew I still wanted to work in the field but maybe in a different way. I then volunteered in a medical/research lab during my undergrad career and earned my certification as a Certified Laboratory Assistant. It was that position that made me realize how important the people in background positions are. With that being said I am very familiar with the healthcare field and the different aspects of

Service and Professional Development Unfortunately, like others, I am not teaching at an education institution. However, as a public health employee, I might be considered a health educator. As many of you know, according to the American Public Health Association (APHA), the role of public health is to protect and improve the health of families and communities. However, to achieve this, public health employees educate via promotion of healthy habits, researching diseases, preventing injury and detecting and controlling diseases (CDC Foundation, n.d).

In order to develop my interest and knowledge of modern medicine, I have taken interdisciplinary coursework that has exposed me to various scientific disciplines that have real-world clinical applications. An example of this is my experience taking the course Human Anatomy and Physiology. Although it isn’t a course required to be taken by the vast majority of medical schools, I decided to take to gain a better understanding of the human body, discover body systems that I found particularly interesting and could pursue research or a specialization in. Through this course, I have been able to learn so much outside of just the human body, as we explored different challenges being faced in the current U.S. healthcare system and disparities experienced by various demographics of people. Outside of coursework, I have dedicated time as officer of an organization called Access Redefined that advocates and raises awareness for various health conditions and disabilities experienced by my college’s diverse student body.

Ever since I was young I've always desired helping people. By watching my siblings grow up with different health issues, I've experienced the pain family faces when faced with medical situations. I've known that no matter what field I go into I would like to help people, which is why I've leaned toward the medical; more specifically, medicine.

To pursue a Bachelor’s degree in nursing is pursuing much more than just a degree or profession- it is more so pursuing a privilege of value, compassion, humanity, and solicitude that surpasses any occupation a regular job can offer. The tasks put at hand, the lives that are touched, and the overall attentiveness put forth by these nurses is the reason so many lives are refined each and every day. One of the best things I believe I will personally obtain from being a nurse is being able to fulfil and change lives through people’s illness while being able to contribute to their life in a supportive way. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that progressively weakens muscle coordination throughout the body, and for the past nine years

After completing an overnight shift caring for twenty critically ill patients in on her own, Nurse Barabra Nshemereinwe graciously agreed to let me interview her. She flashed a weary smile as she told us that the hospital was fortunate to have a backup generator that would start during the frequent power outages they encountered. My team then followed her to a tiny storage room, crammed with what once was tens of thousands of dollars worth of donated medical equipment. As she explained how power surges had rendered many of these medical devices inoperable, I jotted down “SURGE PROTECTION” to make sure to incorporate this crucial insight into our revised prototype.

I was so interested in educating mothers about the childhood disease that I found it necessary to join the Nigerian Red Cross Society and the National Program on Immunizations. These organizations exposed me to the reality that there is shortage of staff within the healthcare system and a gap existing between the clients and the health care team. Other prevailing issues arising within the healthcare system have its root embedded in these fundamentals. Our team members conducted a survey that lead to the conclusion that individuals, communities and the nation as a whole consist of different ethnic groups, races with different educational levels.
