Recommended: Life after high school introduction

Throughout high school my plans were to attend Idaho State University and to work before going on a mission. I did not have intentions of attending BYU-Idaho, nor did I ever want to. However, an unsettling feeling constantly came over me about furthering my education at ISU. So, I made the decision to put off my schooling until I was old enough to go on a mission.
The next thing I knew, I found myself applying to BYU-I. It seemed like a joke, and I was convinced that if God had a sense of humor, that was definitely it. It started with the simple thought that I should apply. For the longest time, I brushed it off. After weeks of ignoring the feeling, I gave in. At this time, people were registering for fall semester classes, and I told God that

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience As An African American Student

    625 Words  | 2 Pages

    My early educational experience made me feel alienated and discouraged. In addition to the relentless news reports of the statistical inferiority of African American students in comparison to Caucasian students, public schools I attended were meager in racial diversity. While it is normal for a person to be proficient in some areas and deficient in others, as one of the few African Americans in my class, I felt representative of my entire race. Moreover, I was not athletic or coordinated enough for the positive stereotypes, and my grades were not high enough to refute the negative stereotypes. Every C and D served as a harrowing reminder that I was a disgrace to all the people who fought and died for my right to an education.

    College was such a big ordeal around this time last year! Many students had no choice but to think about it every day and I was surrounded by friends and classmates thinking about the same thing. Am I sure this is the school for me? Do I really want to move away or just stay near my mom? I even thought to myself, “What about moving out of state?” Everyone was so nervous, and everyone had the right to be. We are all trying to take the next step into moving on after high school. Until April 5th, 2016, my proudest moment was this day. I received acceptance into the Alabama A&M university.

    About halfway through my junior year I learned that I wanted to be a Nurse Practitioner. My teacher was talking about the different levels of nursing and it just caught my eye. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse practitioner and I wanted to help a lot of people in any way that I could, and I realized that I could help more people by being a nurse practitioner than just an LPN. I set my mind to becoming on and I most definitely plan on going onto school until I reach my Nurse Practitioners, and maybe even further on. I also figured out what I wanted out of my life. I wanted to get married, build a house, and have kids, but I didn’t want to do it until after I finished school. I wanted to focus all my time on schooling then get married and have a family, because I know how hard it is to be in nursing school, and have other things outside of nursing school that you have to do as well, Another thing that I learned at MidEast was that I fell in love with nursing in

    I think that as an African American student, from a single parent household, who was able to become the first person in their family to graduate from college, that I will fit well with the school’s motivation to add diversity. I would consider myself a loyal person, and my plan is to practice medicine in the same vicinity as I attend school. I sense that I can help address the shortage of primary care doctors by working both full time and actively in the community. I will bring a benevolent, motivated, and hard working mindset to the role of a medical professional. By being active in the community promoting public health, as well as working for grants for these underserved regions, we will be in a much better situation to provide healthcare
