10/26 Assignment

My name is Madison, and I am a Senior at West Hall High School fully enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program. Aside from studying hard and earning good grades, I played Varsity softball for two years and, at the end of this school year, I will have played golf for two years. I am the National Beta Club Historian for West Hall and I am a member of the National Honor Society as well as the Spanish National Honor Society. In addition, I participate in the Honors Mentorship Program, through which, I have the opportunity to shadow and learn from an Emergency Room nurse at Northeast Georgia Medical Center whose name is Mr. Julio Bimbela. I chose to shadow in the Emergency Room because I feel as though becoming a nurse could be my calling in life, and there is no better place--in my opinion--where I can learn about what nurses do for a living. Next year, I plan to attend a four-year university and earn a bachelor's degree in nursing and go on to either become a nurse practitioner or a nurse anesthetist. My top choices for college right now are Mercer, where I was recently notified that I have been accepted and offered a yearly $18,000 academic scholarship, and Georgia College & State University. Because of the Honors Mentorship Program, I have a better understanding of nursing and am able to further comprehend what I want to study in college.
