I am a freshman here at Bowie State with a major in nursing and a passion for writing! I am a first generation college student from Baltimore, Maryland. I thoroughly enjoy crocheting, painting, singing, acting, and writing. I love theatre and became heavily involved in high school. I have worked behind the scenes as well as being in front of the spotlight.
In high school I took a class called Biomedical Innovations for four years. In the class I got certified to stop the bleed and learned more about myself then I can say. During this course I made great friendships and confirmed my passion for nursing. I learned that my profession is not always easy and that I will have obstacles not just patients but with my work-life balance. But this course also taught me something else I love: THEATRE!
I started theatre in the tenth grade and I haven’t stopped loving it since.I’ve watched plays and musicals for most of my life until I realized I'd actually like it. One of my friends from Biomedical Innovations actually introduced me to theatre. I worked behind the scenes and then gained courage to actually audition. My first audition went terribly and it set me back a lot. But once I heard everyone got a part in the spring musical I was happy. I eventually gained the courage and I made it. I was a background character but I still loved it!
My love for helping people started when I was in the third grade. My mother took me to work at her assisted living every weekend. I loved watching her care for the people who couldn’t care for themselves. It gave me so much joy. Watching her interact, play, feed and clothe them peaked my interest. And from that point on I knew that’s what I wanted to do.For some nursing is a good check with even better benefits, but for me it’s a passion. From the ripe age of seven I knew I wanted to work with kids.
Are Bowie Freshman as different as we think?
