My dream is to become a Labor and Delivery nurse. As a mom of two, I know how important nurses are when welcoming a new bundle of joy to the world. I want to be there to help in any way possible, when the mom is going through so many physical and mental changes. I want to be able to see a new mom look into their new baby’s eyes and understand how love has a different meaning. Through Temple College, I’m able to do clinical rotations on the L&D floor in my fourth semester of nursing school, which will open opportunities to meet the staff and learn how things are run.

After I graduated from Temple High School, I chose to attend Temple College and major in mathematics. Temple College has been a great experience for me and has allowed me to stay in Temple and continue to work at Ralph Wilson Youth Club. Through my experiences as a student athlete and my work at the youth club, I have gained an understanding and insight into the impact that a coach and teacher can have on the youth that they work with. I hope to make a difference as a teacher and coach by being a positive role model and motivator for my future students.

I fell in love with Temple College as they valued the potential and success of their students rather than judging solely off of an audition. Their welcoming arms and musical opportunities have allowed me to see that there was truly no other place for me to achieve my musical dreams than Temple College. Through their wonderful music program, I am receiving weekly private lessons from one of the most talented professionals in the field of music and advancing faster than I ever have.

I feel like studying the major of CIS at Temple College will guide me to accomplishing my dream: being able to help others with the background that I have for a lower price compared to other major institutions in the US. This is why I have chosen to study the fields of CIS at Temple College and Cybersecurity (IT) at a major institution so that not only would I situate myself in a job that'll be able to provide for myself and a potential family, but to also contribute in any projects or help others in need of assistance concerning IT or Cybersecurity
