Personal Narrative: Healthcare Is More Than Having A Pre-Health Student

76 Words1 Page

I have worked with senior citizens before and I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend with them. Helping them with their daily task, and being able to sit and hear their interesting lives and struggles resonated with me.

    “To work with the elderly, one must have compassion and patience” (Warta, par.5). This is something we all should know because elderly do not have enough strength to keep themselves moving alone all the time. They move slower and to work with them you need plenty of patience if not that is not the best place for you to work. When I first arrived before even beginning to volunteer there, we passed this big cafeteria and everybody was moving slow. I was just secretly looking because I knew many elderly do not like to be starred at especially from me that looks way too young to be there.

    Time feels accelerated when I see my grandparents as though I am seeing them in a time-lapsed movie. Aside from the additional wrinkles, slower movement, and frailty that comes with aging, observing them, I have come to realize that life is short, perhaps too short. They have lived in my house throughout my life, and being close with them from a young age has given way to listening to many important life lessons, sometimes wanting to listen willfully and other times forcing myself to do so. One thing I have come to understand is that the advice and experiences of one’s elders serves an important function, to impart wisdom. They recommended to me to pursue my passions, so during my college career, I became involved in the Pre-health Professions

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience As An African American Health Student's Education

    575 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this essay, I present my firsthand account of my experience as an African American Health student in a predominantly diverse health program as well as my perceptions and interactions with fellow students. As an autoethnographer, I sought to answer the following question: What is the experience of an African American health student’s education in a predominantly diverse school of health and university, and how does that experience affect me as an individual? In high school, I was called “white” by the majority of the African American students in a high school of nearly 2000 students in the Southeast of Houston because of the way I talk. Initially, when they said this to me I was shocked they’ve never heard an African American speak educated. I had been on the receiving end of racially charged comments by white peers at my job, and now I had to deal with this from my own race and ethnicity, too?

    The age-old threshold of self-responsibility is something every teenager passes when moving on from high school.

Healthcare has shaped the way I think about people and the world.  I have followed our system of healthcare since I was old enough to understand politics.
