My partner Giovanna and I first went to a building downtown near Bayside. Where there is a lot happening from one place to another. This structure had thirty-nine floors and it was called the One Biscayne Tower. The elevators were super-fast and frightening. It felt as though we were riding the Tower of Terror at Disney.
Over my 17 years working at Jackson Memorial hospital, I honestly can say that I only had one conflict. Nothing major; however, the situation was tense and the problem needed to address. There were two sides to the situation and sometimes it is hard to realize your fault. After a general meeting, issues were addressed on both parts. I was very happy with the outcome.
I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to. My nurse and I ended up going through a large group of patient during the time I was there. The nurse has this uniformity to how she would get her tasks done. The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people.
Today after school I received a phone call from my mother. When I answered the phone I could tell that something was wrong by the tone of her voice. My mother told me that I needed to come to Finley Hospital right away. After I hung up the phone I rushed to my car and drove to the hospital. When I arrived at Finley my mother met me at the doors and said “Hayley your Papa has been in the hospital because his throat was swelling up and he couldn’t breathe”.
My Heroic Journey By David Kraus “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” -Wayne Gretzky. This quote is from one of my idols that I look up to whenever I play sports and It reminds me to have no regrets. If I want to play a sport, then I should play it, it was as simple as that. I didn't want to look back at an opportunity that I didn't take full advantage of. As for badminton, I didn’t have much of a connection to the sport, but it looked fun to play.
My Accomplishment Everyone has an accomplishment that they always will remember. The accomplishment I remember the most is when I got my first job. Getting a job makes it easy to see how adulthood is going to be. Turning into an adult can be something that is very scary.

Firstborns tend to feel responsible for other people, projects, or the world at large according to a book titled Do You Know Who You Are? Flipping through the 200 page book I realized I don’t know myself entirely but one thing I do know is my interest in the medical field. There wasn’t one particular day I woke up and realized I had an interest in the medical field, it all happened within a year span. Always being the quiet person in class I deprived myself from many experiences.
My greatest accomplishment during my high school career was establishing a Key Club. Service has always been my greatest passion and my high school had a severe lack of service opportunities. Not a lot of service events were broadcasted to the school nor were there any service-based clubs. During my sophomore year, I took the initiative to start a Key Club with the local Kiwanis International chapter. For some unknown reason the school principle was very adverse to this idea.
If, in the judgment of my physician, my death is imminent within minutes to hours, even with the use of all available medical treatment provided within the prevailing standard of care, I acknowledge that all treatments may be withheld or removed except those needed to maintain my comfort. This directive will remain in effect until I revoke it. No other person may do so. Additional Requests: 1.
I had many positive experiences during the course of this internship. The one thing that really stood out to me was all of the connections I made in the health care world. I found out about this job from Evan Moore’s father who is the Material Manager at Holzer. He got me an interview with Lisa Halley and Troy Miller. During my internship, I had four people give me their business cards and told me to contact them when I graduate.
The field of medicine equips me with the knowledge to invest, empower, and transform my community. Investment starts at a young age and for me it began when my mother emigrated from Haiti. I was raised in a single parent household in the diverse neighborhood of Roxbury, MA. Similar to my friends who shared the 02119 area code, we were aware that this neighborhood was different from the suburban areas of Boston. Not only was our hometown frequently mentioned in news crime headlines, it also contained structural boundaries not present in other neighborhoods.
A lot of people don’t understand the pressure that comes with being a child of immigrants. Everything that I do is to prove that I am indeed proof that my parents’ sacrifice was worth it. I guess that is why I always strive to reach my full potential in anything that I do. I believe my full potential can be reached by becoming a heart surgeon. There’s something so captivating about the fact that I can use my parents’ sacrifice to save lives.
Before I came to NDSU, I had many expectations for what college was going to be like. Many of my expectations were correct while others have not been as correct. My first month at NDSU has been filled with many new and interesting experiences for me. Throughout this first month, I have had the opportunity to meet many new people, attend classes, and have plenty of free time. Each of these opportunities has consisted of both good and bad experiences; however, I have been able to learn and grow from all of these experiences.
We have all heard the quote “If you dont first succeed try, try, again.” As one goes through life they will face series of struggle, hardship, and success. One will go through several twist and turns before they end at their final destination. But when those twist and turns become treacherous it can be easy to give up, slow down, and look back. It is important though to keep going, work through the difficult times, because soon one will be on the down hill slope.
