An example of my previous work that relates to the skills that I will later use in my career, is a reflective essay that I wrote for my FYOS course. As a Freshman, I took a seminar class based on Leadership and Service. Over the course of the semester we were required to serve an organization in some capacity in order to build our leadership experience. I had already been serving the American Cancer Society for two years, but I felt that this opportunity allowed me to invest more time into the organization and coordinate events to fund raise for the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life. Through the semester, I learned about leadership and how important it is to work well with other and have excellent communication skills. In the nursing profession, I will work with individuals everyday, and have to communicate back and forth with doctors and patients. I feel that through this assignment, I was better able to understand my philosophy of leadership in serving others.
