I am inspired to work toward owning my own business because I want the freedom to create something of my own. Being a business owner would allow me to make my own decisions, set my own goals, and build something that reflects my ideas and hard work. I am also motivated by successful entrepreneurs who started with small ideas and turned them into successful businesses through determination and effort. Their stories show that with dedication and smart choices, it is possible to achieve success. Owning my own business would give me the opportunity to grow, help others through jobs or services, and take pride in what I have built.

My passion for helping others is what inspired me to pursue a career in nursing. I have always wanted to make a difference in people’s lives, especially during times when they are sick or going through difficult moments. Seeing how nurses care for patients with compassion and patience motivated me to follow the same path. Nursing allows me to combine my passion for caring for others with a meaningful career where I can support and comfort people when they need it most.

I chose this career field because of my natural affinity for technology and using it to help others digitally.

It's a career field that fits my personality, strengths and passion for organization and leadership. What chose me to work in this field was my natural ability to stay organized, manage multiple tasks at once, and support others in a way that keeps everything running smoothly.

I chose this career because it is a calling rooted in compassion, service, and responsibility. 

Being able to help people inspired my career choice, so I feel that nursing would be a good fit for me.

I am glad that I received this revelation before pursuing my goal in becoming a nurse because now I have a solid foundation to build on. There is always a difference in healthcare between the people who do it for money versus those who do it because they truly feel called to it.

What inspired me to work in the career that I've chosen is experience in life. While growing up, I found myself surrounded by people with different skills and talent. That motivated me to learn more about myself. I've been through lots of different environments, the good and the bad. I've learned that in life you have to be strong, brave, motivated, lots of confidence, loyal, honest, self encourage and a will to help others. Learning to find what works best for me is Art, cooking, a leader and role model for children.

My inspiration to become a Registered Nurse came from my mother. She was a single mom who raised seven children on her own, and watching her strength, resilience, and compassion had a profound impact on me. Despite all the challenges she faced, she always found a way to take care of us, and she did it with love and determination. Her example showed me what it means to care for others selflessly, even in the toughest circumstances. Three years ago, we had to watch my brother suffer with stage 4 lung cancer. That too was another reason for my career decision. Becoming a nurse allows me to carry on that legacy of caring and allow me to be there to comfort family in need. I’ve seen how powerful compassion can be, not only in a family but also in a healthcare setting. My mother inspired me to use that same spirit to help others heal, to be a source of support during difficult times, and to create a better future for my own family through hard work and service.

My father inspired me to be in the career field. I have grown up around him all my life and watched him work everyday. He have been employed with the shipyard for over 20 years. He went to work right after high school and he have been there ever since. I always wanted to become a welder and work at the shipyard. I hope to be enrolled in the apprenticeship program after finishing school. I look forward to making my father proud of my accomplishments and following along in his footsteps.

It would be hard to pinpoint just one source of inspiration in my career choice. I am currently a CNA 1, which has become a true passion of mine. My desire to help people has always been a guiding force in my life. Becoming a CNA allows me to make direct, positive impact on the lives of others, offering comfort, care, and support during some of their most vulnerable moments.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to dive into this discussion with you all. This week's readings on the impact of social media on mental health have been particularly insightful for me. I was especially struck by the section that discussed "doomscrolling" and how it can contribute to anxiety and stress. It really made me reflect on my own habits and how easy it is to fall into that cycle.

I'm looking forward to reading your perspectives and will be sure to rate them as we go. Let's make this a great discussion!
