Graduate / 'providing emotional and physical care to patients' - PA ESSAY [3]
NEED HELP WITH THIS ROUGH DRAFT FOR THE CASPA ESSAY...ALL COMMENTS APPRECIATED. I REALIZE THERE ARE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. I'M LOOKING FOR CONTENT SUGGESTIONS AND WHERE IT COULD BE :"TIGHTENED."
Ten different places called home in eighteen years. As a product of a military family, it seemed as if we moved as soon as we finally finished unpacking all of our boxes. Moving on a regular basis opened up the opportunity to experience a variety of people, cultures, and socio-economic stratospheres. The spectrum of experiences that defined by childhood are highlighted from living in the third-world country of Panama to living in a newly organized European Union. One of the most vivid memories I have as a child is that of spending Christmas with the mentally and physically handicapped in the jungles of Panama. The joy and gratitude on the faces of the children by simple acts of charity and altruism is one that cannot be described in words. Such experiences left an indelible mark upon me and instilled altruism, cultural sensitivity, and open-mindedness. Coupled with strong Catholic ties, it seemed natural to pursue religious life.
I became a seminarian for the Diocese of Burlington, Vermont soon after graduating from high school. I was often asked why I wanted to serve the people of Vermont. My answer was simple. To serve those who have no one to serve them. While in the seminary I was able to teach catechesis in several settings, including in a parochial school and a special needs class. It was during my apostolate and service centered events that I found most rewarding while at the seminary. However, man collar I knew that this was not my calling. Though the Priesthood was not my vocation, I still felt called to serve people.
