Goals and interests

Career goal

Due to difficult situation, I should say hard life here in America, I experienced to work in the Nursing home-the Meadowbrook Nursing Facility, as a kitchen aid. My work was to serve food for more than a hundred elderly patients everyday. After serving their food, I washed more than hundreds of dishes, pots/pans, and cleaning the whole kitchen. There I developed a Carpal tunnel syndrome that I need to stop working in the Nursing home because I have this issue that I need much attention. Now I work at Edwards Hospital as a housekeeping Associate. It was not an easy job again wherein I sanitize and clean toilets and isolation rooms every day. I feel tired and sickly, but I realized that it is not too late to go to school in order for me to have a good job and a better future someday.

Graduate school interests

My interest is to finish my Associate degree in Nursing and apply for the transfer program of the school to continue my BSN and Graduate studies afterwards.
