Why I come to NY?
I am from Taipei Taiwan . It is a small island
that is located on the east coast of China , Right on the Tropic
of Cancer. The location is as same as Miami and Florida . So it
is pretty hot down there. I lived with my grandmother, my parents
and my sister.
My childhood was uneventful. After I gradated
from high school, I was studying chemistry in college. My family
felt that I should go into nursing because it is easy to find
a job and get a good salary but I resisted. I thought that nursing
was kind of a boring job. I was interested in chemistry until
my grandmother suffered from diabetes. My family worried about
her. That made me changes my perspective. I lived with my grandmother
since I was born. We were very close. When she suffered from diabetes,
I felt shame because I could not do anything for her. I did not
have any medical knowledge. Even though I wanted to do something
for her, I could not. I never felt so hopeless and I hated that
feeling. So I decided to switch my major to nursing. I felt it
made me a better person. Not only can I help my family, but I
can also help other people. I never look back at the choice that
I made, so I have no regrets.
I came to NY about two years. I came here
to improve my English communication skills. This way, I can interact
with my patients and put them at ease. I was a registered nurse
in
Taipei , working with a lot of people whose
primary language is English. So I thought if I came to NY and
go to a college that my communication skills would improve immensely.
Now, I feel that my writing skill has improved,
and my vocabulary has expanded. My oral skills have gotten better
than before. For this, I thank my teachers and my fellow students.
I feel after all is said and done, m options
to work as a registered nurse will be very open. I can return
back to Taiwan or I can stay here to work. Although I have not
decided what I will do, it is a comfort knowing the choice is
up to me.
