为什么山?
I learned about Mount Union through "word of mouth." Everyone I knew was always talking about Mount Union and how amazing Mount Union's football team is. 当我在看护理课程的时候, I learned about Mount Union's nursing program, 所以我不得不来拜访一下. I was so impressed by the friendliness of the campus and how everyone loves the Purple Raiders. Little did I know I would fall in love with this campus like everyone else on campus has. I feel at home at Mount Union because of the community I've formed as a student. Whether I am out walking or going to club meetings and campus events, 我知道我会认出一个人.
Inspiriational榜样
我妹妹一出生就患有脑瘫, and my mom has worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years. I have always been my mom's "nursing assistant," helping with my sister's care. 我热衷于帮助别人, 从高中毕业到现在,500 hours of community service to teaching children how to swim. I knew helping people was something I wanted to carry on through my career therefore, my ultimate career goal is to become a pediatric nurse. Working as a nurse is essential in the medical field because I have learned how patients should be treated through my sister's appointments. I want to be the nurse who treats her patients the way my sister has been treated by health care providers. The hands-on lab work and clinical experiences at Mount Union have given me the skillset to step into the field with confidence.
Mount Union撞击
Professor Andrea Corbisello from the Nursing department has had the biggest impact on my time here at Mount Union. I met with her on my first tour and was sold right after our meeting. Professor Corbisello is the Professor that you can go to for anything. She has never put me down or made me feel like I'm not ready to be a nurse. I currently have her for clinical this year and Professor Corbisello challenges me to be the best I can. I have struggled with a learning disability therefore, I have always needed to work harder to get good grades and even read a book. My learning disability was something I was embarrassed about; I didn't like being this kid who had to have extra tutoring or get pulled out of class for my help sessions. 我知道我是否想上大学, I would have to work very hard not only grade-wise but to be able to pay for my college. 高中时我打两份工, 随着我大四的临近, 我开始申请奖学金. Not only did I receive 奖学金 from my high school, but I also got multiple from outside organizations and Mount Union. Having a learning disability can be challenging and sometimes frustrating, but Mount Union makes students' needs their priority because every faculty and staff member strive to achieve academic success here at Mount Union. I am thankful Mount Union has provided me with ways to overcome my most complex life challenge: my learning disability.
