I decided to change my life during my junior year of high school by taking classes that could help me succeed in the future. I was in the health careers academy, an anatomy and physiology class, and I started job shadowing in the hospitals with that regional occupations program (ROP). Job shadowing was not what I expected it to be. I wanted the nurses and doctors to be proud and amazed that a high school student was interested in them and was doing something about it; but that definitely was not the case. The rotation sites were boring, the nurses were rude and the doctors ignored me. Most of the times I sat in a chair and watched them walk pass me; they did not want me around the patients because they thought that I was inexperienced and I would just be in the way; when in fact I am first aid and CPR certified. I started to dread Tuesdays and Thursdays, the days I volunteered at the hospitals. It was not the same at every rotation site; in out patient surgery the nurses asked me to change the linen and scrub the beds like I was their “little slave girl.” In the Intensive Care Unit/Critical Care Unit a nurse walked me into patients’ rooms and pointed at the urine and colostomy bags.
