COLLEGE FOR ME(:

What do you hope to study when you go to college and why?
          When I get into college, I hope to study nursing.  I like the idea of helping others in general, just like everyone else.  I want to become a neo-natal nurse and help infant babies begin the start of their lives.  Ever since I was little, I always loved little babies and young children.  They're always so cute and soft and everything they do makes me laugh.  When I go study nursing in college, I hope I learn more depth into taking care of babies.  I want them to grow up and live a good life and I believe it starts in the hands of the neo-natal nurse after getting apart from its mother.  I hope that in the few weeks of life starting in the hospital, I will help the baby grow healthy and prepare its life.

How is the Pre-Collegiate program helping you meet your goals?
          The Pre-Collegiate program is helping me meet my goals because this is a medical program.  Luckily for me, this year there is a Nursing class.  Using that class, I can learn more about Nursing and how I need to prepare for it throughout college.  It gives me more information about Nursing, the program itself, by the student nurses teaching in class, and so that we can relate to each other, because they are students themselves getting ready to approach patients in the hospital.  The program in general, is giving me a glimpse of college and it gets me prepared to what I will have to go through for the next few years of my life.  I like that because this is a medical program, we go more deeply into medical related topics and studies, which helps gain my knowledge more into the biology of life.

  1. Susan,
    Being a neo-natal nurse would be a difficult but very rewarding career! Having the knowledge and compassion to care for a newborn during its first few hours of life is a true gift. I didn't realize that the nursing students were working with you. What a great opportunity! I hope that you make some helpful connections with them. Good luck with the rest of the program!
