42 Awakening to Change As a child growing up in Pomona in poverty and despair, I often passed by this college and wondered what happens there? With this question unanswered, at seventeen l joined the Army. I thought that this experience would help to define me. It helped to make me into the woman that I was destined to be, But, I needed more. I approached this college. I went up to the door. Then, I turned and walked away. I went to Azusa Pacific. It was okay. A bachelor’s in nursing fit the bill. I was satisfied until I got the learning bug again. At this point, I gave this college a call. I wanted to know about it all. The more I learned, the more I saw that it was not what I needed at all. I became a student at UCLA that fall. A master’s degree in nursing was just right, Being a Nurse Practitioner has been a delight That was until one night When a friend told me about a program for DNP At Western University. This time, I approached the college with glee They finally had something for me. Something that I had searched for. I approached the college and opened the door to real change. My life is becoming rearranged, This college is enlightening. The learning is so great that it is frightening. With the skills that I acquire, I will be a nurse, who will inspire, New generations to know that they can promote and create the type of change. To make healthcare more compassionate and responsible to everyone that we serve This college is giving me the nerve To be a better nurse — Carise E.
