nursing

Knowing what career you want to be involved in is a very hard decision to make. It takes a lot of thinking and knowledge to even give the idea of doing something for the rest of your life. But for me this is something that I have known since I was in seventh grade. I do not have to do much thinking about the career I have chosen; it has always been my dream. I would love to be a nurse for the rest of my life, no; I know I will be a nurse one day. This is something that I know I will love doing. I figured this out at such an early age because my dad was sick so our family was constantly surrounded by nurses and doctors. Seeing the way they took care of my dad and our family really changed my life. They made the situation better for us and became a part of our family. Some of the nurses came to my dad’s benefit at the local firehouse and they lived all the way in Pennsylvania. During Christmas time they would make visits and just spend time with us or come over for dinner. One of the hospice nurses actually cooked us a really good pasta dinner and every once in a while we run into him around town. They made it so comfortable to be around and that’s how I want to make other families feel. It is so hard to be positive during such a negative time, but nurses can really make a difference. I want to help people who need it and comfort them. I definitely know that I do not want to work in a nursing home or with babies; I want to specialize in maybe cancer or hospice nursing. I also think that working in the emergency room would be very exciting. All that in know is that I am going to achieve this dream of mine and I will help families going through hard times cope with their situation because I can relate to them since I have been through it at such a young age. Nurses can really make or break a bad situation, having someone who is there that is nice, you feel comfortable with and is understanding makes a huge difference. First of all it is hard as a family, to let in other people like the nurses because have to go through the good and bad times just like the family and it is just as hard for them. It is a tough job to allow a stranger just take over, like in my case, it was hard for my mom to let nurses take care of my dad since she was so used to it. So I would love to make my patients feel comfortable enough with me to take care of their loved one. I also want to make the children in the family a big part of the help. So that is why I know that I am going to become a nurse.

wisdom

Wisdom is not something that comes from grades or high rankings, everyone has wisdom whether they know it or not. Wisdom is something that you get from having experience and you have been through all different types of situations. There is no age limit for wisdom, sometimes people say someone is wise if they are old, but that is not always the case. You do not have to be old to be wise, any situation can give you wisdom, it helps you deal with upcoming situations. I honestly do not really know the true meaning of wisdom, I could be completely wrong, but in my opinion wisdom is when a person has enough experience, or knowledge about a certain situation to make it through. A wise person has the ability to give helpful advice and has been in similar patches of their life. I think my mom is a very wise person. She has been through so much in her life that I truly trust her opinion or listen to her advice when she gives it to me. My mom has been very helpful during many times and always knows the right thing to say. I think everyone needs a person like this; someone you can always go to, vent, ask for help, or just listen to what has happened in their past, which might help you to avoid happening to you or help you become successful. My mom has been a very successful woman, not financially but she has a great family and a lot of friends that have always been here for her throughout the years, that is success to me. She is wise in so many ways and is very easy to talk to. Wisdom doesn’t have to come from an older adult, my mom is not old but I feel like she has a lot to share with me. Maybe all parents do? Parents have gone through exactly the same thing us teens have to. They know more than we think and most of us don’t allow our parents to share their experiences and what they have to say. A person can not test for wisdom. Everyone is born with it but it may not be available to all. At one time or another you share your wisdom with a fellow student, friend or family member. Advice on something that you can relate to is wisdom. We all have different stories to tell and advice to give, but that doesn’t mean someone is more wise than another. As we grow and mature we will have the ability to share our experiences and advice with people who are younger and who appreciate what we have to say.
