Norfolk State University

Personal Statement

            My goal and dream is to become a registered nurse and I strongly believe that Norfolk State University will help me to reach that goal. Last year in my 11^th grade year, I heard about Norfolk and the opportunities and academic programs they offer, I was really excited about finding out more about the school. I decided to visit Norfolk last summer and I fell in love with the campus. The first thing that caught my eye was the new nursing department building they were building. This was the first thing that caught my eye because my aspiration in life is to become a registered nurse and take care of those who are in need and cannot take care of themselves. Furthering my education at Norfolk would definitely be a great experience for me. This journey will help me become a well-rounded, educated young female in the society that we live in today. Norfolk State University encourages and motivates their students to realize their full potential and this is the type of environment I want to be a part of.

            I've always wanted to become a nurse and take care of those who aren't able to take care of themselves. One thing in my career that would make me happy is to see smiles on the faces of those who are hurt or sick. That is one of the qualities needed to become a nurse. One has to be joyful, caring, patient, and well-rounded. The nursing field comes with high expectations and skills and I believe Norfolk’s nursing program will help me meet those expectations. Norfolk State University is where I would love to further my education. Being able to focus and be pushed by those who care about one’s future is something that is important to me. I would love to be a part of Norfolk’s community and I consider Norfolk State University my top choice school.
