What is the most important part about your personal statement - ANSWER- My
great grandmother's nurse. She definitely inspired me and is the reason why I am
here now. SHe made me realized how impactful and important this career is.
Without knowing, she was the reason for the decisions I made through my
educational career. As the first child of immigrants, my parents were very wary
about what I do outside of school and what I decide to do with my future because
of all they have done for me such as moving to another country across the globe
for a better future for me. I was raised with many boundaries but because of my
sparked passion, i realized that it is something that I need to defend and work for.
I joined organizations and held leadership positions to build my confidence and
experience as a leader as well as a follower. In addition, i branched out and
applied for a volunteering position at memorial hermann and volunteered for 100+
hours at the hospital to help as well as to have an understanding of how the
hospital worked. Long story short, she was such an inspiration and I doubt that
she knew of the impact that she has had on me, but I am so unbelievably grateful
for coming across such an amazing nurse like her.
What are some of your obligations outside of school - ANSWER- My family: as the
oldest sibling in the family, after work and school, I have to take on the
responsibilities of almost a mother to my two younger siblings. My mother would
stay at the house and we would switch out almost once I get home and she goes
to run errands. I take on some of her responsibilities because it's the summer and
the kids are home all the time now so it's nice for her to have a little time to
herself.
my job: I work at a daycare and summer camp at a church near where I live. My
responsibilities consists of providing activities, feeding the kids, making sure the
diapers are clean, and letting them have fun while keeping them out of harm's
way.
How will you change your study habits to compliment the rigorous program -
ANSWER- I am only focused on school. I won't be working on the side during my
time at school and I will no longer be focused on the extracurricular activities that
I was in at the University of Houston. Instead, of relying on professors to tell me
, what to do and when to do it, I will have a set schedule and stay on top and ahead
of my school work in order to not fall behind. I understand that the nursing
program is a fast-paced, 15 month program so I must put forth more effort and
time to succeed.
What do you like to do on your down time - ANSWER- Quality time spent with
family and friends, volunteer, paint and do crafts, work out, and play piano and
the flute
Who is your support network - ANSWER- Definitely my family, boyfriend, and
close friends. At first I was always afraid of being liked by everyone and wanted
everyone to be my friend. I would always try to branch out and do things for
others without asking for anything in return. At one point in my life, I kind of felt
lost and alone because I have so many "friends" but i did not have the connection
and love that i wanted back in return. I realized that you can't always get along
with everyone and sometimes you just have to put yourself first since friends can
come and go easily. I also came to the conclusion that quality is more important
than quantity so i am so very thankful for having my small, tight-knit support
system.
If you were struggling in a class, what steps would you take to improve -
ANSWER- I would take a step back and figure out where I went wrong because I
need to be accountable for my failures. After figuring out my mistakes, I will find
the resources and help I need to improve my understanding of the course such
as reaching out to classmates for study groups, avoiding distractions, and
focusing my time on sections of the course that scare me the most.
your strengths - ANSWER- I have the ability to soothe people's' anxieties through
listening and effectively responding to the situation. Rather than telling them that
they are wrong, I would state what other paths to take and giving them more
options. In addition, I want to make them feel like they are not alone and offering
them real help and what I know for a fact rather than making empty promises. For
example, I have had friends in the past who were mentally/emotionally unstable
from traumatic experiences or low points in their lives. Whenever they come for
me for help or advice, I try to be there for them and help them in anyway possible.
I try to empathize, look at the situation from their perspective and help them
figure out what is the next best step for them.
your weakness - ANSWER- I often put others before myself. Sometimes i spread
myself out too thin because I want to please everyone. Coming from a very polite
and quiet family, I am often soft-spoken and don't defend myself. I often try to go
