My Nursing Goals and Beyond
Introduction
I never imagined I would end up as a single mother by escaping domestic violence seven years ago. I moved to the United States with a large family, with 12 siblings, in 2014. Since our father came ahead of us, he had prepared a safer landing in the US, which presented us with seamless opportunities.
My landing at SeaTac airport and the welcome ceremony is quite a memorable experience. The warm welcome at the airport marked a significant transition in my life. The new land was refreshed by aspiration in life. My desire to pursue my nursing career ambitions was not a reality.
Why nursing? My desire to pursue a nursing career is not a notion that comes from nowhere. I had harbored a great interest in nursing. My elder sister could have played a critical role in influencing my professional choice since she was a nurse. My sisters became my crucial role model. How he cared for the patient and her values, principles, and beliefs convinced me that I need to be a nurse. Just like my sister, I wanted to do something in my future career and life that is challenging, interesting, and makes a difference in people's lives daily.

I tried to join nursing school while I was back home, but major challenges impeded the transition. Thus, my move to the US was a game-changer because it actualized my dreams.
Surprisingly, there encountered challenges as I settled in the US, but they did not diminish by the aspiration to become a nurse. I went to Seattle community college to start my dream, and I registered for a prerequisites class for the first time. I registered for the course, but challenges persisted, including caring for my daughter since I was a single mum. As a single mom with all ups and downs in my life, I managed to finish all prerequisite quarters with the help of Allah at the end of three years of continued commitment and determination. The last breathtaking step involved applying for a nursing school. Luckily, I had managed to get good grades that will enable me to join the nursing school. But the challenge was, all the Seattle colleges, including Highline college admission taken place only through the drawings to accept nursing students. It does not matter even if we had high standing accumulative grades. With such condition, I had applied to the three Seattle colleges and Highline community college. After some months the application, I could not believe my eyes when I first opened my email says "Congratulations." Highline college accepted my application before any colleges that I had applied to. It was the most joyful moment of my life.
