Sample Text

Have you ever thought about your future? I have. When I think about my future, I see myself as a nurse. In order to
achieve my dream, there is a path I have to follow. First, I’m planning to take classes in nursing assistance. When
I graduate from the nursing assistant program, there are going to be lots of job opportunities for me. I’ll be working
as a nursing assistant in a retirement home or in-home care. Second, I’ll apply to and will be accepted to volunteer
at Community Memorial Hospital in the maternity section. Third, I’m going to apply to Indiana State University. I will
be studying for a bachelor of science in nursing, which will take up to four or five years. Fourth, after my schooling,
in order to become a registered nurse, I will have to take the National Council Licensure Exam and then become a
registered nurse, which means recording patients’ medical history and symptoms, maintaining a safe environment
for them, and establishing a compassionate connection by providing emotional support. After becoming a registered
nurse, I will move on to become a pediatric nurse to specialize in children’s diseases.
