¶ … trudged through another day at the office, it hit me like a knockout punch -- I did not want to work in the financial world any longer. I had been moonlighting as a home health care provider, something I never really thought of as a career. Working with seniors was just something I had wanted to do, not something I had previously thought of as a career. I earned a Bachelor's degree in finance and eagerly stepped into the business world after college. Yet I did not feel fulfilled at all. My work was unrewarding and tedious.
One day one of the seniors I had been taking care of said to me, "Oh, I wish you could stay on," she smiled up at me. "Any chance we can talk you into it?" I shook my head sadly, held her hand and left for work. It was exactly then that I realized that what might really make me happy would be to leave the world of finance and shift gears. Instead of working in the business world, I would take care of the business of helping others to feel better and reach their optimal health.
I have already been doing that as a home health care provider, which is why I foresee specializing in care for the elderly. Remaining dedicated to the vocational nursing program will not be a problem, because I have clear goals and aspirations as well as a high expectation for success and self-fulfillment. I look forward to applying myself to the world of nursing. Although it is daunting to return to school after a few years away from it, I know that I can no longer find any joy continuing with the financial office that I have worked for.
I am applying to the Vocational Nurse program with the intention of being able to help others, especially seniors, thrive through the skillful application of vocational nursing practices. I have a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and patience and will contribute much to the program as a student. Thank you for your consideration.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer well-known for his macabre poems and short stories. Written before his death in 1849, "Annabel Lee" keeps in line with many of his previous poems and centers around the theme of the death of a beautiful woman. "Annabel Lee" features an unnamed narrator pining for the lost Annabel Lee with whom he claims he has an eternal bond. In "Annabel Lee," the narrator
"He gives his harness bells a shake / to ask if there is some mistake." The horse's action portrays the tendency of people to question those choices they don't understand. This scene can be interpreted as the disapproving voice of society voicing its demands on those of a more sensitive bent. In much the same vein as the previous stanza, Frost shows a depth of human understanding (and misunderstanding). Our
trudged through the mud, which caked up around the soles of my new shoes. The uphill climb wasn't strenuous on the legs, but the afternoon sun zapped every last ounce of my already waning energy; I hadn't eaten a thing all day. James, a realtor with whom I worked regularly at Capital Pacific Homes, told me, "You have got to see this place! It'll blow you away!" As James
" As the reader soon discovers, this heart trouble wasn't physical; rather, her trouble was related to personal unhappiness in her marriage. The heart disease as not being a physical condition is once again reinforced at the very end of the story when the author writes, "When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease -- of joy that kills." However, the reader is well aware by

Whitman in the Supermarket Considered by many to be the father of free verse, Walt Whitman was a19th century American poet, essayist, and journalist. In his poetry, Whitman often incorporated aspects of realism -- presenting things as they are -- with transcendentalism, which seeks to transcend things as they are. In Allen Ginsberg's poem, "A Supermarket in California," Ginsberg encounters "Wives in the/avocados, babies in the tomatoes!" And "Walt Whitman, childless, lonely
