What happens to individuals who are released from prison, when they lack support in trying to reintegrate back into society? Some may struggle with everything from navigating their employment and housing situation or finding mental health support, to getting a gym membership, reconnecting with family, or finding a family doctor.

Obtaining my first degree means a lot to me. I learned much about myself and the importance of putting in hard work. From going out of my comfort zone the first time I inserted an IV in a patient, to my first night shift in the emergency room, I think my class would agree that receiving this degree is a significant milestone recognizing our efforts these past four years.

Receiving this degree is very significant and important to me, as it is essential for my growth as a future healthcare leader. Working towards this degree has given me the tools and knowledge needed to manage a team, work collaboratively, and manage change in the workplace. This degree gives me the ability to work in a field that has inspired me my entire life, and for that I am extremely grateful.
