Personal Narrative: My Pathway As A Nurse

My Pathway As long as I remember, I was a sick kid. I frequented the hospital than my sibling did and during this time I befriend the nurses. It all started as observing the nurse because of boredom but as time goes by, I become interested in nursing. I remember feeling scared and sad whenever I have to visit the hospital, but the nurses always try to make me feel comfortable. I decide I want to be a nurse because I want to make people feel comfortable like the nurses make me feel. I observe the nurses for a while and then as I got older I visit the hospital less because I start getting sick less. I feel sad about not been able to observe the nurses anymore, so I informed my mother about my feeling. Her being a woman that want what is best

I was excited because I love going to new place and meeting different people, but I was sad to leave my friend and because I will have to give up the afterschool observation I was making in the hospital with the doctor and nurses. For a while, I forgot able my sadness about leaving the hospital because I was busy adjusting to my new life outside of my country. Everything was different, the school learning method, the weather and basically everything I have been used to my entire life. The most important changes of all is the language. I can speak English fluently, but that doesn’t mean I can speak without an accent or that I can listen when understanding what is being said. I worked hard to make my accent lighter and to understand people because I know that if I want to be a nurse then I have to be able to understand the patient and the patient have to be able to understand me. After a while, I was able to get my accent right due to the help of the internet, my friends, and my guardian

I informed my guardian counselor about my dream of being a nurse. She informed me of a school program that teaches college classes and gives students the opportunity to volunteer in different medical sites. I was ecstatic to learn about this opportunity, so I work hard to have a good GPA in order for me to get accepted to the class. I got accepted to the class and I started during my junior year. My favorite part of the class is the opportunity it gives us to do activities that help other people and the opportunity to volunteer in the hospitals and for community services. I spend most of my time volunteering, but I participate in the track and field distance team with my friends for
