Recently, I have joined the nursing program at San Francisco State University, and the fact that I am doing nursing makes me feel terrific because it involves taking care, and maintaining health and wellbeing.

At Children’s hospital, I offered assistance to parents by holding babies and helped the nurses by running errands and comforting babies during their tough times. I have also been volunteering in the emergency department at Doctors Medical Center for more than a year where I have been assisting emergency personnel as well as the patients during their urgent time. I have also volunteered as a student nurse to give vaccinations to low-income population in San Francisco.

Therefore, I would like to get the education that helps me pursue my career that involves caring and nurturing.

After graduation, I want to serve the community by promoting and maintaining health in the society. In order to build the financial independence as well as to implement my knowledge and ideas into practice, I would like to work. Along with that, I would also like to continue my education so that I gain better expertise in providing the best level of care.
