I've dreamed of working in the medical field and caring for people

Every since the sixth grade, I've dreamed of working in the medical field and caring for people. This ultimate drive led me to purse a career in nursing. I recently cared for my aunt who had numerous strokes and was disable. She was also a registered nurse and was deceased January 2012. Throughout my experience, I've learned that you have to keep your mind open and alert for many potential situations. From that moment, I realized attending nursing school was for me. My goal is to graduate from the University of South Alabama, and work at the Biloxi Medical Regional Center as a postpardum nurse. I would like to further my education and become a Nurse Practitioner in Women's Health.

recently I cared for my aunt who had numerous strokes and was disable

Ever since I was in the sixth grade, I dreamed of a career in medicine and caring sick people..


Finally I found my destination at Nursing.


She too was a registered nurse and passed away in January 2012.
Make sure you give us the prompt in your post. This helps you earn more relevant comments for your response and we also can check whether you have answer is aligned with the prompt.

"Dreamed" and "dreamt" can be used interchangeably, but my personal preference is for dreamt. (You, of course, may use whichever term you wish).

Despite Dumi's correction, I believe that your original use of "I've" rather than just "I" is correct and that it is best not to change it.




Saying that someone "passed away" has a more positive connotation than "was deceased."

Also, the statement is unclear. One interpretation is the one that Dumi offered that states that "She too was a registered nurse." This statement indicates that your Aunt, like you, is a registered nurse. Since this appears to be an application for nursing school, I suspect that you are not a nurse yet and that this statement would therefore be inaccurate. I would consider re-writing the entire sentence to say "My Aunt was a registered nurse, but sadly she passed away in January 2012."

If you're still out there and looking for revisions, just wanted to incorporate IntheClouds's suggestions:
