Many years ago as a child, I had a real life dollhouse in my backyard. It was something my father and my grandfather had surprised me with one Christmas. It was my happy place, where I was perfectly content and in peace. I would go in there for hours upon hours, not realizing how much time would pass by, without a care in the world simply reading my books or cooking for my dolls. In that dollhouse I felt invincible. It was where I spent most of my time as a child, enjoying the beauty in the simplicity of life. Sadly, I outgrew that dollhouse and the backyard had work done to it, meaning my dollhouse was no longer with me. The dollhouse that nurtured my youth was torn down. And in a way, I still search for that dollhouse every day, looking …show more content…
Although I have always had a passion for working with children and this is where most of my experience lies, I also enjoy working with the elderly population. Having had a grandfather who struggled with Alzheimer’s for a long 10 years and having a grandmother who is currently battling Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and being there every doctor’s appointment I could make it to have made it an eye opening experience for me. I have learned so much throughout the years; even when I was younger and I couldn’t truly understand what was going on. Growing up, I learned to ask questions of doctors and nurses and take an active role in their care, and this is another one of the reasons I decided to ultimately go into this field. A field that allows me to learn all of the necessary skills – ones taught and ones learned through personal experience – to work with all types of people who come from different backgrounds and have unique story of their own. Having said this, after the journey that is nursing school I hope to have a clearer picture of which specialty to choose – but for now I am open to all possibilities that lie in the road
The first eight years of my life, I spent in India where I was born. Growing up I was constantly reminded by my parents that I needed to make them proud by getting a good job and living a good lifestyle. They told me this because they did not want to see me live a hard life like they did. When I was nine years old, I moved from India to the United States of America. The reason why I moved to America was not because I was living a bad life in India, it was so that I could have a better education and more opportunities in life.
Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.
Since the dawn of time, a person 's gender has been an essential component of determining what roles each gender is to assume in life. Woman have frequently been viewed as the submissive or weaker gender, only to be useful in the home, who are not capable of making it in a man 's world, who are not allowed the same rights and privileges as their male counterparts. Men, on the other hand, have always been viewed as the dominant or stronger gender, the one who’s job it is to be the provider, the one who makes all the important decisions for his family. In Henrik Ibsen 's A Doll 's House, these assumed gender positions are upheld to the highest degree throughout the majority of the play, and not dismantled until the pivotal ending when Nora makes her stance on this lifestyle very clear.
Deviance of Social Roles: A Doll House & Proof In the plays, Proof by David Auburn and A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen, the protagonists deviate from their social norms by thinking outside of the box and living beyond the labels adhered to them. Every society has a set of rules, attached to certain roles that each member within that role is expected to follow. In Proof, Catherine’s mathematical ability dispels the stereotype that women can’t contribute to the field of mathematics and proves that her eccentric behavior isn’t due to being mentally ill. While in A Doll House, Nora’s awakening allows her to envision a life where she is free to think, act and live without having to rely on a man.
I believe a job as a certified nurse assistant will give me a better insight while working beside nurses and observe what set of skills nurses use.

I believe that I belong in the nursing field, because ever since I was a child, I always wanted to make a positive influence in people's lives.
Have you ever moved houses? What about cities? Or states? Moving for many people is normal and doesn 't affect them whether they move to a different neighborhood or to a city far away. Some enjoy experiencing new places and new people, basically starting a new life.

A Doll’s House: Character Comparison and Contrast Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House contains a cast of deeply complex characters that emulate the 1800’s societal norms that they belong to.

In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, appearances prove to be deceptive veneers that disguise the reality of situations and characters. Ibsen’s play is set in 19th century Norway, when women’s rights were restricted and social appearance such as financial success and middle class respectability were more important than equality and true identity. Ibsen also uses realism and naturalism, portraying the Helmer’s Marriage through authentic relationships, which are relatable to the audience. In A Doll’s House, Nora represents 19th century women entrapped by society to fulfill wifely and motherly obligations, unable to articulate or express their own feelings and desires.
A masterpiece of creative act that instantly portrays the hypocrisy of the Victorian middle class, a Dolls House was written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879 a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre. The story takes place on Christmas eve where Nora and Torvald the two main characters represent the importance of gender roles and social image throughout the Victorian era. The conflict of the story is driven by Nora’s forging of loan documents to raise money for an expensive trip to Italy; Krogstad, who had processed the loan, tries to blackmail Nora over the fact that she forged the documents. Nora who risked jeopardizing her husband’s image had set the tone throughout the play as the constant change in personality set the tone of the play which I have really enjoyed due to the unpredictable plot twists and a chance to be engaged with The Victorian culture at that time period.
In 1880s, women in America were trapped by their family because of the culture that they were living in. They loved their family and husband, but meanwhile, they had hard time suffering in same patterns that women in United States always had. With their limited rights, women hoped liberation from their family because they were entirely complaisant to their husband. Therefore, women were in conflicting directions by two compelling forces, their responsibility and pressure. In A Doll’s House, Ibsen uses metaphors of a doll’s house and irony conversation between Nora and Torvald to emphasize reality versus appearance in order to convey that the Victorian Era women were discriminated because of gender and forced to make irrational decision by inequity society.
When I was around four years old, my parents wanted to surprise me with a special gift, which made that Christmas one to remember. I almost forgot that I had more gifts to unwrap because I was focused on discovering what my parents made me. I was not allowed to know what the special present was until Christmas day, no matter how many times I begged them to tell me. When I woke up Christmas morning, I was beaming with excitement, but I was still groggy like a bear waking up from hibernation.
