My Dream: Becoming a Pediatric Nurse Vincent S. at the time of his birth was barely more than a palm length at one pound, thirteen ounces. His mom reports not wanting to look at him, much less of picking him up. Today at 11 years old, with first class care and love, he is a 125-pound, four feet-nine inch tall chubby handsome New York fifth grader. The way I hear it, Vincent’s mom - my aunt, credits the hospital nurses with being the angels who helped to get the child through those very critical times. Stories like that excite me, because for those who know me, know that the number one thing in which I am passionate about and excel, is working with little children.

Her parents are also unable to bare anymore children. Furthermore, Lisa has suffered with a lupus-like immune deficiency her whole life. She has done nothing to bring this onto herself, whereas Jerry was a steroid user and Ozzy was a crack-cocaine user. She is the most deserving and this decision will benefit the most people morally, this is thanks to her father’s generous donation.
WIC serves pregnant women and children under five years old- the ages at which nutricional sufficiency is most critical for brain development and long-term good health. At last count, almost half the nation’s infants were on WIC which serves people up to 185% of the poverty level. If this program were to be cut, it would affect the poor that already run low on resources and nutritional direction. A number of studies have shown that WIC is associated with better birth outcomes for at-risk populations. WIC has also repeatedly shown to return well- every dollar spent on WIC reduces health care and other costs between 1.77 and 3.50.
Most of the time 3 out of 4 kids that was born into a wealthy or poor family would die before reaching the age of 5. During this time, not a lot of people understand the needs that infants require, such as nutrients or treatments for illness. If infants were to get sick in the 1500’s, they would most likely die compared to today where we would just drink the medication and we’ll be cured. Thus, technology plays a huge role on mortality rates from then versus now. Thanks to advance science research and technology, we are able to make antibiotics for whatever illness we might have.

With my efforts, I was able to obtain a grant for my High School education in a private school and that made my mother so happy and proud. When I was 16 they discovered that I have a rupture in the retina of my left eye and she did everything to collect the money to take me to the hospital and had a surgery; I remember seeing her cried, telling the doctors to please fix my eyes, that she wouldn’t me suffer the same way that she did. Even that I don’t see perfectly well, I been able to succeed thanks to the prompt actions that were taken. I never thought of moving out of my country, what for? I had it everything: a house, a job, my family, a fiancée; but different social and family situations take me out of my nest and sent me to fly to a different world.
Her reasons to be pregnant at that age? Well, it's unplanned. Yes, unplanned pregnancies do not happen only to teenagers, my mom had one. They said it was a blessing.
