Having been a student for most of my life, I have amassed qualities that make me a prime candidate for your nursing program. For instance as a student of life sciences I have learned good observational skills. Then as a naval reservist I developed physical skills and as a Filipino-Canadian I am fluent in two languages. Finally as a peer councilor I gained through training emotional skills. These are all skills essential for a successful nurse to have. First a nurse must be able to spot if something is out of the ordinary especially in patient's condition. Second a nurse must be strong to be able to handle the physical demands of nursing. Finally a nurse must be caring, understanding and non-judgmental since patients comes from all walks of life.
Being bilingual is a strength of mine that I cherish dearly since it allows me access and exposure to numerous cultures. Thus greatly enhancing my understanding of the world and its people. But having an open mind is by far the greatest strength I posses because it enable me to learn new and interesting things. Thus I was able to try new things I never thought I could such as become a naval reservist.
Having experienced poverty and hardship first hand brought about my great interest in humanism. This lead me to pursue higher education and be involve in the Red Cross. For an educated person can reach further in life and do more for those who are in need.
