Addressing the Needs of Communities

A CampusRN Scholarship Program finalist for the Northeast region:

One’s personal goal can mean and be valued differently to others; one may honor it while another may disregard it. What matters most to many people, however is how their personal goals can bring personal fulfillment to them not how it is perceived differently by others. I feel that such value is the hallmark of people who felt has led truly meaningful lives. My goals for my future are to achieve a Doctoral degree in nursing practice (DNP) and to contribute in the work for cancer research. My interest in the sciences and desire to help my community in many areas in life has shaped my goal to pursue nursing. Having been exposed to the biological sciences throughout my academic years has given me greater appreciation towards the human body and its functions. I fully believe that such sentiment is an important quality to carry out research in the science of nursing. The field of nursing will also allow me to improve my critical thinking skills and broaden my knowledge in the health sciences through research and implementation of nursing practice. Apart from having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I have also served as a community leader for 3 and a half years working at the Asian Pacific Islander Coalition for HIV and AIDS. As a result, I believe my work experience will better prepare me in identifying and addressing the needs of communities that require support in many areas of health care.
