I want to undertake a career in the health science field, I have always wanted to and because I believe it will always be interesting to me in the years to come. Others believe it will have a negative impact on me because of the working environment, a hospital, how it seems to have a depressing tone and how death has a presence there. Although that would be the case, I think it'll teach me something valuable, as well as being able to help people in my community makes me happy.
So I want to be a nurse, specifically a Nurse Anesthetist, where they have a purpose in taking care of a patient's anesthesia needs before, during, and after surgery or during the delivery of a baby. They also promote patient safety and in increasing health care accessibility. This appeals to me because of the fact that I'm able to participate in helping others, where this job also requires the nurses to use every part of their training, since they do play a significant role in a patient's life. I hope to accomplish in completing the required education in order to become one.

Time Flies By
So 12 years old, it was what, 6th to 7th grade? I remember being so shy and awkward, and still feeling uncomfortable from moving to Chelsea. Everything felt so different, but now that I think about it, I'm glad I moved here. Over time, I have been able to move out of my comfort zone, and do things I never thought I would do in middle school. Although, don't dye your hair so much...I thought it looked good at the time, but nope it really doesn't. My 12 year old self, don't worry! In Chelsea, you're beginning to meet your best friends that I believe you'll have for a very long time. The greatest friends I know, I will ever have. Yes, I know! They're weird at first, but you learn to live with it. Time is going to fly by so quickly, you won't even notice and before you know it, you're already in your third year of high school. So appreciate the time that you have, cherish the moments with your friends and family, especially the younger siblings, Angeline and Eric. Soon...they're going to be taller than you! It's sad, and makes you realize that they're not so little anymore. Also...your older sister, Megan, she's going to get even more annoying, just kidding, but seriously, she's going to go to college soon! I know that you don't like to admit it sometimes because it feels weird, but yeah I'll always love her and my other siblings. Yeah, sometimes problems and disagreements are going to occur, but I know that we'll get through it together anyways! Please appreciate what mommy does for us all the time, as I grow up, I realize the hardships that she goes through. All the things I didn't know and was ignorant of, because as I age, I know I tend to forget that she's also getting older. Time is moving on, it doesn't stop for you, so please take advantage of your youth because I realize now that I will be heading off to college in 2 years. I don't wanna grow up yet, but it's inevitable.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
I am small, that can't be emphasized enough but because of my height, people tend to believe that I am weak. I'm not weak, though there are many people that perceive me as child-like, believing me to have limitations due to my height. There are different perspectives on being "weak", mentally and physically. People do indeed underestimate me, I have experienced this on many occasions, such as participating in a sport. Other students from the sport, soccer, clearly did not believe me to be a good player nor to be very athletic. Although I'm not hardcore on being an athlete, I know that if I set myself to complete a goal, I have the will to do it. Years ago, I did not believe I would ever undergo a sport, but now I am able to get out of my comfort zone and do the unexpected. Mentally, I can be strong-willed, at times, I understand the moments at which I must be mature. There are different aspects to myself, I do not only condone one personality because I know the situations in which I must change how I am seen from others. I am a big sister, I know I must act like one when it is necessary, although I acknowledge that I do commit mistakes but nevertheless, I put effort into helping my younger siblings. But I am also a younger sister, I know when I should not bear a burden only to myself, I know who I love and can depend on. Overall concerning my height, I can be seen as a child, but that does not restrict me from being who I am, and being seen as my real age.
