Successful Supplemental Essay Example From Our Accepted Alumni Student:
From helping family members and the wider community—along with my parents’ inspiration working in emergency services—I have dreamed of becoming a nurse—to offer care with compassion.
Since I was young, I have grown up around young children. I am the second oldest in our extended family—with 17 cousins, infants to eighteen. By age eight, I was changing diapers, giving bottles to newborns, running around to find pacifiers, and more.
I have also been heavily involved in my grandparents' lives. My maternal grandparents have been struggling with aches, pains, and surgery recoveries. I thoroughly clean their house weekly, and help care for them as much as I can.
I have been able to help others through kindness and compassion. From corresponding regularly with nuns in the assisted living facility on my high school campus, to tutoring students through NHS, to making connections during every interaction at my job at a local ice cream shop—I have learned that positive outcomes can be driven by empathy.
I plan to bring this empathy to Quinnipiac Nursing and my future career. With dreams of a career in pediatric healthcare, I hope to work with diverse populations through clinical training at Yale New Haven Hospital. I look forward to joining compassionate and driven students with the Quinnipiac Student Nurses Association. I plan to serve through QU outreach initiatives like Haven’s Harvest, the Ronald McDonald House, and more.
At Quinnipiac, my new community would be unmatchable—with learning opportunities, diversity, service—and empathy at the heart of every endeavor.
