Enjoy high school and do not be so eager to grow up because life gets really complicated on your own.

I am currently in the traditional BSN program and my experiences at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing, and at Texas Tech University have changed my life. I am learning how to care for patients and give back to the community. Nursing school is extreamely difficult and trying at times; however, I have learned to handle the hard times in a productive way. Eventually, when I become an RN, I will have to juggle many tasks at once, and I know that at certain points I am going to feel overwhelmed. School has helped me to learn how to deal with these overwhelming experiences, and how to handle an emergency situation. The human body is an extordinary thing and there is much to be learned about how to care for an individual; without school I would not be able to go into this profession or give my life to the community as I desire to do. I would like to study abroad in Sevilla, Spain this summer to further broaden my education experience and to become a more cultured nurse. This scholarship would allow me to advance my education in Sevilla.

Now I have much to deal with science. I can develop a nice and new approaches of scientific proposals; I can write , review scientific papers.

Considering that I am now married to a police officer, the mother of a three year old daughter, and still on track with my education, I would tell myself how proud I am of my accomplishments. I would comment on how well my prior education and background, faith, family support, and integrity have served me. I can say that I am grateful for my experinces, how they have shaped me as a person, made me stonger, smarter, and more well-rounded. I would tell myself to trust my instincts, always stay sweet, and remain true to myself. I am extremely proud of who that senior became, I hope that in the following years I can continue to be resourseful, work with whatever life throws at me, and always keep a positive attitude.

I would tell myself to figure out what I wanted to do before entering college. It is very hard to get out of college in four years if you do not begin the path in the first year of college.
