Hello Everyone!
My name is Mariah, But my friends like to call me Ry. I'm currently a college student studying for my Associates in Nursing, and then transfer soon after to receive my Bachelor's degree. I just finished my classes to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and am happily looking forward to take my state board test to become certified. Every since I was younger I was always in the hospital setting visiting both of my parents. I guess I spent so much time roaming the halls that I just become comfortable with it all. Nurses knew me by name and when I got old enough I began volunteering there in my free time.
At first I didn't want to fall into the cliché of following in my parents footsteps in the hospital, and so I took interest in other areas of work. Law became an infatuation of mine and I thought about going to school to become a Lawyer. Then of course I had the brilliant idea of majoring in medicine for my mom and then minoring in law for my own preference. Goodness did all my advisors look at me as if I were crazy! Then when reality struck, I just accepted my fate in medicine. It was bound to happen.
I enjoy roller skating very much. For a couple years I worked at a roller skating rink and I just fell in love. It's surely a guilty pleasure of mine along with ice skating. They always said, if you know how to roller skate, you already know how to ice skate and vice versa. It's been a while since I've had the "eight wheelin' feelin" though, so now most of my time consists of burying my nose in a great book or working homework now that the college semester has come around again.
I'm very passionate when it comes to helping people. I guess that sort of become prevalent when I found myself back at the hospital and it just seemed to blossom more and more as time passed and I invested more and more time with patients. Working in the health care field I found myself gaining a better sense of appreciation and warm heartedness toward those I didn't even know because you never know when it's your time, and in that lifetime, all you want to do is make an impact in some way. And that for me was even just smiling to that one person who could have had a horrible day and your smile alone could have brightened their day even if only for a second. Life is too precious to be selfish and ill-mannered toward those who wronged you. Just smile and wish them well.
My Goals for attending GCC include finishing my prerequisites for nursing and transfer over to ASU in pursuit of my BSN. Then, upon achieving all that, my hopes are to continue on to be a doctor. Don't ask me what area yet, because I haven't thought that far ahead yet, I just need to finish getting my nursing degree before any other goal is made. I assure you however, I will accomplish these goals with the right motivation. (:
