Can someone please read my paper and give me advice/feedback? I still am not finish and still have to rearrange sentences. However this is what I came up with so far. Let me know if I have answered what they are looking for. Sorry I know it is long but I want to make sure I have included everything they are asking for. Some parts I am just speaking out loud on what I am going to type but haven't finish yet.
I have been looking forward to the great opportunity to attend The University of Arizona's nursing program for a long time now because of the college mission statement that I know I will enrich. I feel I can bring a lot to the campus such as my unique talents/commitments, motivation, communication skills, outstanding moral decision making ability, leadership skills, and hobbies. Although I have always had these qualities, I was not always certain what to do with them, but I have always known that I admire and hold great respect for bringing my individual unique abilities to the community. For example, in my senior year of high school I was given the incredible opportunity, which I am so grateful for, to volunteer in the hospital as a file clerk and a front office assistant. As a front office assistant my duty was to strongly communicate efficiently to the doctors, nurses, and patients about any important information. I even won a healthcare award for the best communication staff on the hospital floor. With my exceptional communication skills I look forward to organizing Arizona's campus with a social enhancement club for students with disabilities who have never got the chance to express themselves openly. This club that I plan to start will truly make a difference in someone's life by educating, engaging, serving, and... My experience as a volunteer has truly helped to cement the notion of me becoming a nurse, and has taught me the significance of cultural competence, empathy, and communication. Best of all, through working beside my mom I have learned a lot about myself and the person I want to become. (Career goals) I have discovered that nursing is my true calling to graduate at The University of Arizona with a BSN. Once I graduate as an RN, work in the surgery room as a travel nurse in every state and overseas. I have found this career is well suited for me because I am a hard worker, ambitious person, love to interact with individuals, and proactive. (Motivation).This volunteer experience has helped me find a (suitability for the profession) where I can handle the challenge that comes my way. I find this a suitable profession because I can expand my ideas and always put my best foot forward for others who are less fortunate than I am. I really feel as though my passion and compassion for people is what I could also bring to the campus. I have found that I was faced with hard situations that required moral decisions and still had to provide the best care possible to the patients. My personal moral/ethical decision making ability traits are what make me stand out the most from the crowd. I have taken ethics class which most importantly helped me with making ethical decisions. My individual stable moral qualities such as empathy, honesty, fortitude, helpfulness, and good behavior habits (elaborate) are seen when I'm at best doing ......... With these aspects I could bring to The University of Arizona's college community... I am apart of Phi Theta Kappa membership which I am highly committed to contribute to making this world a batter place. The goal of this organization is to encourage scholastic achievements as well as personal growth and development. Being apart of Phi Theta Kappa has provided me with the tools necessary to unleash leadership skills. Every project or campus activity from HOSA feed the hungry to discovering new technology for scientist for a cure of a disease I would always be involved with helping. At The University of Arizona I know as a student I could bring resources that will enhance the future and personal success of my peers. I want to make a difference, whether it is by raising money for local charities, engaging in service activities on campus or in the community, or promoting fellowship among fellow Arizona students. I know as a student I will make an effort to not just better myself, but to better the lives of those around me, through the campus as well as the community. Through various participation in multiple activities I hope to open many doors academically by tutoring others if they having trouble in their courses,............. ( try to talk about leadership skills, and how you would be involved in campus activities, acheievements ). Last year, I was involved in a world wide convention achievement new ideas for a new recelying program that would benefit the college. ................... I would work tirelessly to earn the privilege to be at this college and I know I could bring a student filled with ideas, with the desire to let this mind expand. and ( going to talk about how my own unique sense of style can be different from the average person.) (going to include Intellectual interests). All of these qualities have shaped me into an amazing diverse individual and hope to contribute this to my peers, faculty, and to the college community.
