I am 28 and pursing school again. Ive lived my life in my 20s, moving around and exploring and having every weird job out there. I somewhat feel a little too late but ive recently just wanted stability and most importantly healthcare. Ive struggled for too long. I want to make a difference in the healthcare world and spread kindness. There have been too many times where just because I didnt have money, I was treated differently in hospitals or doctors offices. People should be treated with care in these kinds of places. I used to be a CNA and I think that the way older people are treated in those places is disgusting. I was not brave enough when I was younger to stand up for myself let alone others but through the years I have grown and learned quite a bit about myself and people in general. I want more than anything to have a chance to go back to school and make a difference.
Thanks for reading.

My father worked so hard for my brother and me Sure he didn't go to college nor did he have plans for us to go but he put food on the table, we went to the fair every year, we went crystal hunting in the mountains, we went trick or treating, we had family for big a Christmas with the smell of breakfast bacon in the morning. That was enough for us at that moment in time. We learned to work hard and work harder for the things we wanted.
I have worked hard through my 20's. I worked at Costco for 6 years until I thought I was destined for something better than being in a corporate office telling people their shipment was on the way. I knew I loved caring for people just not in the way Costco takes care of people. I want people to remember me as the woman who made their hospital/doctor visit just that much better. I want to comfort people and be the one who is there for them when maybe they don't have anyone else. People are not meant to be alone yet how many people have managed to do just that? Are they happy?
When I was thinking about getting into healthcare I wanted to be a nurse. Or at least take the classes and explore my options. I stumbled upon radiology and thought how interesting! I am not ruling out one or the other just yet as I am taking my prerequisites currently however, I am positive whatever it is that I choose I will succeed. I will be at the top and be the best that I can be. I always wondered why people are doing a job and don't try their absolute best. I have had not-so-good jobs before but I will never be that person that does not give their best. I take being in the service industry as an example. I have been in the service industry for 10 years. When I go out and receive terrible service, it just makes me wonder why they are here in the first place giving terrible service and expecting a 20% tip. I also take their terrible service and use that for when I have my next shift. I learned to not do what they do. We can learn so much from others by just watching and experiencing.
Thank you.
