Introduction

 Even when I was young, I knew I wanted to do something meaningful with my life. This desire has remained and has continued to motivate me as I now pursue nursing. The following is a portfolio of my experiences in nursing so far, it includes my beliefs and values, goals for the future, artifacts that have guided my journey, and a reflection on my transition into this program. I have grown so much since starting in September, and I believe this portfolio depicts that. Overall, it shows how I found my passion for nursing and the many factors that led me to the Trent/Fleming School of Nursing.
