The University of La Verne’s core values have been present in my life throughout the years. Even though my mother wanted to attend college as I did, she didn’t have the option to so and that’s why she encourages me to try my hardest in school. When my mother was young, she dreamed of attending college in the United States and getting a job so she could support her family, whereas when I was small, I didn’t think school was important. Although my mother only attended elementary school, school was one of her top priorities because she felt like it was an honor to go to school, and if you went to school, you were considered to be lucky. My mother was an over-achiever and saw education as a way of showing that she was better than most.
In 1938, Dr. Apgar returned to Columbia University as the director of the division of anesthesia Despite her title, she had trouble recruiting physicians because Surgeons did not accept anesthesiologists as equals, and the pay was low.

By persevering she was able to set a good example for women to
The good parent will give of themselves so their children will have the best experiences and opportunities. In the book, So Far from the Bamboo Grove, by Yoko Kawashima Watkins, Yoko and her sister Ko’s mother sacrificed her needs for her children. During the long journey escaping from North Korea and trying to return to Japan, she always gave them most of her food and her coat and blanket so they wouldn’t be as hungry or cold. She felt that education was most important. With the little money she had, she enrolled them in school and paid for their tuition so they could finish school for the year.
Erickson named it “identity versus role confusion” in which identity shows sense of adult path while role confusion is the inability to form an adult identity, lacking any sense of a future adult path (Experiencing, 2013). I am certain that I am developing myself in a positive way by having a stable job right now as an RN while having better plans for the future. I am starting that plan by continuing my nursing education, trying to earn my Bachelor degree in Science of Nursing. The road to success is not going to be easy for me, but I do not expect it to be. I am able to maintain a balanced life in terms of my college education, work, religious obligations, house responsibilities, and personal life satisfaction.
