I became a CNA after my sophomore year while working and babysitting. I now work in a skilled nursing facility and am applying for hospital jobs to learn more before nursing school. My goal is to earn my bachelor’s in nursing and become a pediatric or postpartum nurse, then later a nurse practitioner. Helping others is my purpose.





VolunteeringatBackusHospital showed mehow small acts ofkindness can change someone’sday.Deliveringlab samples andhandingoutitemsfromthe“CompassionCart” reminded methat success means givingback and making othersfeel caredfor.
A successful life, to me, means balancing work and joy. I love cooking dinner for my family and staying involved at school. I’m part of the student committee and help plan events like Homecoming, Prom, Powerpuff, and Mr. GHS. Being part of my community makes me proud and happy.






















In the future, I hope to live a comfortable, peaceful life surrounded by the people I love. I want to enjoy my work, come home to a happy family, and feel proud of the life I’ve built. Success to me isn’t about having the biggest house it’ g a life filled with love, nd contentment.
