"Failure isn't an option if success is just a matter of more effort" - W. Bruce Cameron 

I enjoy traveling to different destinations in nature as it allows me to relax. Listening to the waves or seeing the strong trees brings my body back to a calm state and allows me to remember my own strength. As I look at the ocean and the trees that were here long before me, and will be here long after me, I am reminded how small my worries truly are in the scheme of the world. 

As I travel, my curiosity for new experiences is unleashed. Some of the new activities I have tried are hiking in luscious and green forests, outdoor rock climbing on treacherous and steep surfaces, and kayaking in waters with strong currents. 

The unconditional love and support I receive from my family has encouraged me to achieve all of my goals and pursue a career in Nursing.  My mother always taught me that people matter and I will carry that important message with me as I treat my patients daily. 

The friendships I have made here at Dominican have allowed me to thrive academically by forming study groups as well as create a more balanced college experience by exploring new areas and making memories that will last a lifetime.
