Liila
Lila was my mom’s bestfriend and she had visited us during my religion curiosity. She knew it was difficult for me to fall asleep so she would
stay up all night to talk to me. She knew the pain I was going through and how sensitive I’d become, so she was gentle. She reminded me of Grandma Pina, the way she talked, her
soothing voice, and her genuine vibe. Her humor almost felt as if my pain had disappeared. In our talks, we would discuss my fears which had always led to discussing God and his role in our lives. She was a Christian so she answered all my questions I was curious about. She would talk about me to her Christian community. We’d also pray together every night and she made sure I was asleep before she went to sleep. I felt a sense of acceptance that I couldn’t with
anyone else. It was hard talking with my family as everything wasn’t always sunshine and roses, I didn’t wanna let my guard down, but by talking to her I was able to almost accept everything leading up to that point in my life. Reflecting on how quickly we grew a foundation for a strong relationship I cherish, I believe was sent from God to help me.
To date, my desperation to feel normal has been controlled more than I could years ago. Going
through health difficulties isn’t any fun, and the pain can be a life killer. At times it might seem a
normality to one but at others, it might make you feel lonely and hopeless. I have learned how to
find myself and the person I want to grow into. A lot of my independence comes through the
experiences I feel were personal to me. My perception of healthcare has not always been
stable, at first I had many short, timid, and bland relationships with doctors and nurses as most
of them could barely help me. I was frightened of them and their repeating words. I wasn’t
introduced to my health problems formally, I was at times rushed with my health and put aside. It
wasn’t until later on I experienced the side of healthcare that should be more influenced. I grew mature relationships with older people I thought I never could. I've realized that health is the most important thing in one's life. Without health, we are nothing. It has made me adjust to my life and, at the time, challenged my life. Each day I get to learn more about my health and through these life experiences that have continued through the years, my interest has also. Beginning with being my grandma’s assistant, to watching my
health decline. I grew a strong relationship with health. I also grew interested in helping others
with their health. I want others’ health to be important in their life. I feel strongly about the topics: of healthcare, medicine, and human anatomy. This is why I would like to dedicate my future expertise to helping others improve their health, as it has been one of the most important things in my life. Not only so, my life and more especially, my health has not been linear. There were times when I felt lost and desperate. However, this does not scare me it encourages my desires in people as I would want to change this perception for healthcare workers. Health is essential for life. Which is why God has led me into the path of helping all through healthcare. I see the importance in everyone’s life as God’s love in how he created us. Understanding the value of any individual guides me into the healthcare every person deserves. Additionally, The important figures that came through my life with experiences have almost shaped what I want to become as an individual in healthcare. Beginning with the nurse who took care of Grandma Pina as she was the best nurse in my eyes, my therapist and how inviting he was made me change my perspective on men, the way Lilia exemplified Grandma Pina but also
how she listened and understood me, to people who have been patient and helped me with panic attacks. Aside from my family, I’ve been blessed with these people who influence how I can change many aspects of the medical field.
