Personal Narrative: Finding The Perfect College

In my search to find the perfect college for myself I have come across only one that I feel is the right fit. That college in Jacksonville University. I discovered this at a college fair in Orlando, Florida that I attended with my mother. At first, I didn’t want to go nor did I want to talk to anyone about college but then I saw the Jacksonville table. I spoke to a man named Greg VanOekel and everything he said to me made my smile larger and larger. I have never been so passionate and excited in my life.
Ever since I was about 7 years old I have wanted to be a nurse just like my mom. I was set on this career path until the summer of 2016 when my travel ball team was playing at a tournament in Ormond Beach. At our first game my friend was leading

off 1st base when the catcher threw the ball to the first baseman. My friend quickly dove back to avoid the tag, accidently placed her arm against and base resulting in a dislocated shoulder. She was in physical therapy for months until she was able to play again. During these months she would tell me all of the exercises and activities they had her do and I would always make sure she was doing them and doing them right. The summer of 2016 I discovered that I no longer wanted to follow my mother’s career choice. I chose to set down my own path and major in Exercise Science or Kinesiology.
