Angelena's Story

I discovered my passion when I was younger and met a nurse named Nikki. Nikki mainly worked night shifts, and I was able to notice how she was able to calm patients down and to help them take their medicine. She always took her time, and was more than willing to help her patients. Nikki helped inspire my passion of pursuing a career in becoming a compassionate nurse.

Being a high school student, opportunities for hands-on experiences in nursing are limited. By attending Centenary Summer Scholars, I'll be able to make sure that nursing is a major and career path I truly want to pursue.

A Note from Ms. Sibley, Angelena's Teacher

Angelena is taken upon herself to take a college sociology course at Gateway Community College because she knows that this topic will be something that she will have to build her skills on if she wants to become either a nurse or a sociologist. This is something that students her age generally have difficulty even considering. Angelena is a very determined student and despite the fact that she lives two towns away, she manages her time well enough so that it doesn't affect either her attendance at school or at Gateway.

Angelena will greatly benefit from attending Centenary Summer Scholars to further her academic experience in a college setting. This opportunity will also allow her to push her critical thinking skills to a college level.
