I will be going to school for nursing and start this September. I have wanted to go into the medical field ever since I was a little girl, but it wasn't until high school that I decided on nursing as my chosen profession. Since 9th grade, I have taken the courses in school that would help me accomplish this goal and also help me with my other passion, writing. I took a couple of AP courses so I can get college credit and ease my workload in the first couple years of college.

When it came time to pick a college, my parents asked that I pick one that was within a days travel. That was fine with me, because my number 1 and 2 choices were only a couple of hours away. It just so happens that my number one choice accepted me and, even though I still applied to the others, I started making preparations to go to Messiah.

I also have many other interests. I am an avid reader, sometimes reading 3 books at a time. This was probably how I became interested in writing. I also like to help my community. I have taught classes on writing at my local library and each year, I donate an entire weekend to help the Ronald McDonald House when they put on American Girl fashion shows to raise money for the charity. I am very active in school. My sports are soccer and swimming. I am the leader of the chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes that meets in school. I am also a member of the art club and the environmental club. I am also a nursery worker at my church.

Update:

I am in my second year of school and am currently studying abroad. During my first year in Nursing, I had to take a couple Psychology courses. This is how I found out that Psychology is a better fit for me. This is want I wanted to do. Therefore I changed my major and am currently a Psychology student.
