NEXT GOAL by Claudia

NEXT GOAL by Claudia - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

My next big educational goal is to get accepted into LSUHSC School of Nursing. Being a nurse as always been one of my passions, and as a first-generation college student, I plan to work hard and make it happen. This year as a freshman attending Louisiana State University, I plan to pass all my pre-requisites to be able to be eligible to apply to nursing school. Once I'm in nursing school I'll be one more step closer to my degree and my passion. I've always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. I've always enjoyed helping people and putting smiles on people's faces. There aren't many nurses that look like me, so I want to change that narrative and inspire many young girls and boys that look like me that they can do it too.
To achieve my educational goal, I'm going to seek help when I need it and take advantage of the resources that are put in place to help me. I'm going to prioritize my education and grades in order for me to get accepted into nursing school. Right now, during the summer I have already enrolled in Math courses so I could be ahead and get a head start on my pre-requisites, so I won't have to spend more than a year at LSU's Baton Rouge campus. I am very hopeful and excited to see what this next step in my education will bring.
