Why am I Melvin Rosario ready to return to Monroe college?
Several years ago I interruted attending Monroe college for my medical administration associate degree. Let me begin with the reason I had to stop, it was years ago when my aunt Lidia Michel, who I was living with to help her pay the bills was fighting one of the worst diseases known to humanity (breast cancer), which by the time she went to the doctor, and was diagnosed it was too late, and cancers began spreading all over her body. I remember the doctors trying everything in their power to cure the deadly disease and we all lost hope when the doctors ask to speak to her family. When I stepped into the doctor 's office I knew it wasn 't anything positive they had to say from the looks on their faces. Once at the office the doctor explained that at this point all we can do is show her how much her family care and love her, and suggested that she needed someone to take care of

They 're several reasons why yours truly wants to go on and return to Monroe. Being a father, my children look up to me and leading by example is key at this time and age. When achieving this goal, I can show my children many life lessons, such as a college degree can help you be so much more successful in life, every bit of education you get after high school increases the chances you 'll earn good pay, making your siblings proud, motivate them to crave better in life, follow the great example a college graduate sets, and much more.
The long journey It took, to get my life back on track, once I realized that things are going great, I became a stronger person and all goals I have set since her passing, I have met. It was earlier this year that I attended my oldest son 's high school graduation where I gave it some thought to returning to college. It 's the perfect time to meet the greatest goal I set for myself and I 'm ready, more focus than ever, willing to do whatever it takes to start, complete my studies and obtain a degree at
She told me she was pregnant and they have had to plan for this pregnancy for about six months. They know she will be off her medicine for the duration of the pregnancy. She has had a job and she has found that high stress reduces the quality of life. She was going to get another job and her husband asked her if it was necessary to have this job? She is finding her limits in life and learning how to take on the challenges that come her way.
It can be hard for many to understand that when she is in the emergency room complaining of unexplained pain, that she isn't seeking drugs. No one can see what is going on in her body, no one can feel what she feels. The first step to understanding someone else’s invisible illness is accepting that it cannot be understood. Next, be there to support her. She just wants someone to listen to her concerns.
One of the proudest moments of my life came in 2012 when I received my Associate of Arts degree and graduated as the class valedictorian. I realize that for some people earning a two year degree may seem like no big deal, but the fact that I did it while incarcerated at San Quentin made it extraordinary for me. Before coming to prison, I had failed at my two previous attempts at junior college without earning a single unit. It would take getting locked up and separated from society,before I 'd start to buckle down. I was 33-years old when I completed my first Coastline College course in Geology and received an A.
She did not speak english and we could not seem to reach her. I reached out to a physician with the same background for ideas and he asked if she had hot water on her tray. He informed me that warm drinks and a warm environment was important to healing in her culture. After making these modifications to her environment she started responding to us and trusting us. We must always remember to care enough to listen and learn from our patients even if they don't speak the same language.
I knew that I wanted to be a doctor since early high school. Experience in a hospital and clinic setting, both personal and professional, have given me many reasons to pursue medicine. Through these viewpoints, I have gained an understanding of patient hardships like financial and travel issues, the grief associated with loss, and the trust that accompanies putting yourself or a loved one into the hands of physicians. These experiences have built empathy and compassion in me that is necessary in medicine.
1) Why did I choose nursing as a profession? When I was younger I was very ill and at that time it was not known whether I would survive. However, I was able to survive and exceed the expectation of the prognosis of the condition.
After obtaining my associate degree I began my own step team and mentoring the young ladies at Arbor Hill Elementary in Albany NY. I then decided to continue my education with obtaining my bachelors degree in Business Administration. Being that I have become a mother of two, I knew that the chances for me to go into the classroom were slim to none. I made the decision to return back to school online to Everest University. By the time I started I relocated back to South Carolina to helped out my dad that was sick at the time.
She said, “My life now is not how I predicted it to be. I must rely on my family, especially my daughter, to help take care of my husband and I because I’m getting to where I can’t. If it wasn’t for her coming over every morning and night, I don’t know what we would have done. My son doesn’t live as close as she does, but he will help us by driving us to the doctor sometimes. We have both been to a nursing home in the past, and although they were good to us, it is nice to be home.
Something such as returning back to school was long gone and in my past goals. After a couple of years I never thought I would end up going back to school since everything that I wanted was going good and according to plan. However sometimes we are faced with tough situations where we must find other resources in order to improve and better ourselves. Going back to school was one of the most important and wise decisions that I have ever made. Finding well-qualified candidates for a job or career nowadays is a challenge, especially in the field that I am currently in; law enforcement.
Part One: This summer I read six chapters in Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann. Three chapters that stood out to me the most were chapters 1,2 and 6. Although these chapters are different from each other each one of them showed me a different focus. Each of these chapters had a different level of importance and stood out to me. Chapter five is most important to me.
Helping out my mother with the bills, working full time and commuting to college, seemed like the destined plan for me after high school. Nonetheless, it came as a shock to everyone when I confessed, I had accepted my admission to Texas A&M. My family took it the worst at first, as it seemed if I wanted to run away from the responsibilities that had suffocated me up to the minute I pressed
She tells you that “no one seems to understand how I feel. Not my husband or even my medical doctor. I
Finding motivation to attend college is easy, keeping the motivation to finish is the difficult part. I decided to enroll in college to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Business with a concentration in Finance. I hope that the degree will give me the opportunity to apply for a better position within the organization that I currently work for. A secondary goal of returning to school is to demonstrate to my son that attending college is required for many jobs and that returning to school as an adult has various difficult challenges. I have been working for the past nine years as an Assistant Financial Officer and am highly competent at my job.
They decided to keep her there because they knew how much I cared for her and that I would make sure she got the proper care from everyone else. She told me that her mom always talked so highly of me and that I was one of the few things she looked forward too especially in her last few weeks. This experience was overall a very difficult but rewarding experience. It taught me that it’s okay to advocate for a patient and insist they get the respect and care they deserve.
It is imperative that as a teacher one continues to develop professionally in order to keep abreast of the emerging pedagogy in the educational system. This ongoing development will better equip the facilitator with the tools needed in the teaching learning process to adequately prepare students for success. I am elated to have been accepted in one of the most prestigious universities in the world, Walden University. A number of my colleagues are pursuing or have pursued higher learning at this noble institution and have heralded high praises. I am cognizant of the fact that in order to achieve success at Walden University I must be academically, emotionally and practically ready for the challenges ahead.
