My best role model

All of us at some point in our lives become influenced by others. We look up to, not only famous people, but also those close to us.  A positive example of a role model in my own experience helped me to form important ideas about my future. The one who inspired me the most was my good friend, Ewa. She helped me to shape my ideas about education, my goals, how to get alone with others and how to take responsabilit                                                                                   

   I   met Ewa about six years ago in Norwalk Hospital, not long after I arrived in this country. We started to work together at the rehabilitation unit at Norwalk Hospital. That was, for both of us, the first experience with nursing and patient care. We worked as a Patient Care Technician, but Ewa decided to go back to school and become a Registered Nurse. In order to fulfill her dreams, she started attending Norwalk Community Collage. At that time she was encouraging me to go to school with her.  It was not possible for me to start school, because I had a baby who was only two month old. and I couldn’t leave her,  When Ewa attended NCC classes, she was studying and working at the same time. She also had a family to take care of, which included a husband and two kids .I had seen her struggle so much, but Ewa was always a very strong and motivated person. She managed to graduate from college. It took her a long time, about five years to achieve her goal, but she did it and now she is a successful Registered Nurse at Norwalk Hospitals . She was determinate and that was how she become a wonderful nurse .Ewa is the person who has motivated me to go back to school and start studying towards nursing. She has really inspired me that studying is the key to success. She helped me shaped my ideas for my future.

  Ewa has wonderful personality .She is the person that taught me how to get along with others. Ewa came to the United States about twenty years ago from, Poland and she knew how to deal well with other people .Ewa was always very supportive when I had problems .She helped me to deal with them. At the rehabilitation unit where we work together, we sometimes have a hard time with our patients but we always work as a team and support each other. Even when she becomes a Registered Nurse and she had more responsibilities, she still finds time to help me. She listens, to the patients and has very good heart . I would like to follow her example and have her positive attitude towards life and other people. She has taught me how to get along with others.

 Responsibility is another quality of my friend Ewa. I watch her every time she is with patients and she makes sure they have everything they need. She sits down next to the patient rooms and does her paper work. At the same time she watches them so they won’t fall out of bed. She always gives out her medications on time and she spends lots of time with her patients. All  the time she keeps her promises and delivers what patients ask for. I think she is a very responsible person. She taught me that value so I can follow her model.

   In conclusion, there are many people who could be a good role model, but my friend Ewa is one of my best. She is a very positive role model for myself and others .She influenced me with her good attitude and good heart. She         helped me to form my ideas about my education. She taught me how to deal with others and she trained me how to be responsible .She is always there for me. She   has an ability to comfort and calm her patients like no one else can. She has special touch that put people at peace. She is just wonderful.
