I have always wanted to become an RN, but never took the leap of courage to become one. What finally gave me that final push to take that leap was an experience I have gone through personally. My husband and I got married in 2017 and have been trying to start a family since then. Unfortunately, I struggle with infertility due to some health issues I have. Going through this fertility journey has allowed me the opportunity to see the setting inside of the hospitals. I knew that I wanted to be an RN, but I did not know what specialty I wanted to pursue.

(p. 216) The introduction is something that sets the essays up and will give you what you need to understand whatever it may be your reading. The introduction is used to set the tone to the essay. The section in which Rosenberg discusses the title is something that I can use to learn from. Rosenberg states "The title. As obvious as it sounds, pay attention to the title because it can convey a lot...

In "So You've Got a Writing Assignment," Corrine E. Hinton offers writers many suggestions on her views that can apply to us. Of the 10 suggestions discussed suggestion number 3 sticks out the most to me. This suggestion is "Know Your Purpose and Your Audience". When starting a paper you should always know your purpose of it and understand it. You can't form the paper with the thesis and supporting details as it should be if you don't truly understand your purpose for the paper. Corrine E. Hinton states in "So You've Got a Writing Assignment," (22) "Audience is a critical component to any writing assignment , and realistically, one or several different audiences may be involved when you're writing a paper in college". I agree with this statement very much. K nowing your audience is a key factor in a successful paper. You want to be able to engage with the reader with information that can be understood and relatable to them...

I enjoy traveling to new places with my family. One of my favorite places to go would be Universal Studios in Orlando.
