    Netflix and Scholarships!
    My absolute favorite Netflix series or movie is The Platform. It's a science fiction thriller set in a prison with a unique structure. The inmates are divided into two levels, the top and the bottom. Every day, a platform filled with food descends from the top to the bottom, and the inmates must fight for their share. It's a thrilling movie that explores the power dynamics of those on the top and those on the bottom and how the system can be manipulated for one's own benefit. When watching the movie I noticed the movie did an excellent job of showing us whether inside a prision or outside world there's always power dynamic in everything. Especially, if you look at how the corporate world works and how unhealthy it can be for individuals to work in such enviroment. The Platform is a thrilling movie with unexpected plot twists and a thought-provoking message. It's a perfect movie to watch if you're looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat. The tension builds up as the inmates battle for their share of the food on the platform. The movie also makes you think about the power dynamics between those on the top and those on the bottom. It's a powerful exploration of the power struggle between the haves and have-nots. The movie is well-acted and the cinematography is stunning. The visuals are captivating and the score is haunting. It's a movie that will keep you guessing until the very end. It truly left me at shock, throughout the movies there were trenmendously lots of details I did not catch on or notice until reading and watching from others perspectives. The ending of the movie made me think very deeply about the whole movie and had tons of questions. As if, they can carry on to make another movie if they wanted but the ending was also good where it left the viewers think and draw their own thoughts and ideas. I was a bit sad, that there wouldn't be a second one but who knows they might do make another great one. If you're looking for a captivating and thought-provoking movie to keep you entertained, then The Platform is an excellent choice. It's an exciting movie with a powerful message that will keep you guessing until the very end. Clear your weekend and binge-watch it; you won't regret it!

    Pangeta & Ivory Nursing Scholarship
    It is important to work to better understand the nature of our universe because it provides us with an opportunity to gain insight into questions about our place in the universe, the origin of our species, and the potential for our future. With such knowledge, we can begin to understand how we can best use our resources to benefit ourselves and our environment. The first concept I would employ in order to better understand the universe is the scientific method. This method involves the use of observation, experimentation, and the testing of hypotheses to reach conclusions. This method can be used to uncover the answers to some of the most profound questions about our universe, such as the origin of life, the structure of the universe, and the forces that govern its behavior. Another concept that I would employ is the concept of the multiverse. This theory suggests that there may be an infinite number of universes in addition to our own, and that some of these universes may have different laws of physics or even different forms of life. By exploring the multiverse, we can gain a better understanding of the structure of the universe and the forces that govern its behavior. Finally, I would employ the concept of emergence. This concept suggests that the behavior of a system can be greater than the sum of its parts. By understanding how complex systems can emerge from simple interactions, we can gain insight into the behavior of the universe as a whole. By employing the scientific method, exploring the multiverse, and understanding the concept of emergence, we can gain a better understanding of our place in the universe and the potential for our future. By discovering the answers to these questions, we can better use our resources to benefit ourselves and our environment. I first decided to pursue a career in nursing when I was volunteering at a local hospital. Working in the hospital environment inspired me to learn more about healthcare and how I could help make a difference in the lives of those around me.

    As a sophomore in high school, I have decided to pursue the health pathway offered at my high school. Meaning that I would take general classes like everyone else but also extra health courses to graduate with the health course. Additionally, I have taken more extra health classes to further explore my passion and curiosity for the health field. From my senior year of high school, I had aspirations of becoming a registered nurse or nurse practitioner. After two years of college, I decided to commit to becoming a registered nurse specializing in pediatric or NICU care. To further my knowledge and experience in the field of nursing, I have also been actively volunteering in my community. I have dedicated more than 200+ hours to volunteering at a local hospital and clinic, specifically in the NICU, surgery, and receptionist COVID-19 center. My volunteering experiences in these departments have helped me gain a better understanding of the complex healthcare field and have allowed me to apply the knowledge I have gained in my classes to real-world situations. Furthermore, in my high school years, I have also been involved in multiple health clubs created by my high school as well as the HOSA and Wolverine pageant. The pageant aims to raise awareness and funds for children in the NICU. After application, interview, tryouts there are nine exceptional seniors have been chosen as the faces of our high school to work with Children's Miracle Network in order to fundraise for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) over the course of the entire year. My contestants and I raised $23,000 for the NICU in 2019. Being a part of the pageant has increased my love for babies which has confirmed my love to be an RN for pediatrics/NICU. My journey to becoming a nurse has been long and challenging, but I am now finally able to start my first year of studies in January 2024. After two years of waiting in the highly competitive field of nursing. I am excited to use the knowledge and experiences I have gained to help others and make a positive difference in the world. Ever since I was in high school, I have known that I wanted to work in the health field and have not considered any other career path. It was during a college tour in Portland, Oregon as a sophomore in high school when I had my "aha moment" and knew that nursing was the right career path for me. This was further reinforced through classes such as anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology, which all piqued my interest and drove me to pursue nursing.
