So here begins our biographies. Hello fellow classmates and instructor! My name is Julia Piccolo and I, like many others at TWU, am a nursing major. I have many friends in the program who wish to enter into the labor and deliver division of nursing. I am fully impressed by these individuals that seem to make up a majority of the nursing students. I have plans on either going into the operating room or psychiatry. I have sat in on a few surgeries. I have no words to describe how truly amazing it was to watch those men an women work inside of a body. I have done a lot of volunteer work at halfway houses whose members were funneled though various hospitals. Mental health is an area that desperately needs help and reform, and I wish to be a part of changing it.

I have high hopes for this class. As a Plano kid, I am well aware that I have lived a sheltered life. Any problems I have are minuscule in comparison to even some less affluent areas of Dallas, let alone the global community. This class advertises itself as a perspectives class. I am wanting to gain just that.

Most of my time is filled by work and study. I work at a sports bar in Plano to pay for my education. Lets just say that football season makes the school payments a lot easier to make. When not working, I tend to stick to screens. Movies, NetFlix, computer games, and Xbox monopolize my time. These sessions are usually punctuated with a trip to a pub or restaurant with friends that I have had since elementary school.

As for my random fact that makes me fairly unique, when I was younger I went to a studio in Dallas to have my screams recorded. A majority of today's game (if they feature screams) include my voice.

  1. The fact that you are able to pay for your education on your own deserves applaud. Along with that you also have volunteer experience. You also know exactly what you want to do with your career. Best wishes for your career goals.

  2. There are a lot of women going into the nursing field. I thought about doing nursing but I figured out that was not quite my field of interest. Also, at the time that I was interested, I wanted to become a nurse in Labor & Delivery. I used to do clinical rotations when I was in High school a while back, and I thought it was the best place to work. But as the years passed by I changed it to Biology. As a matter of fact, today my niece was born and it reminded me those moments when I was doing the clinical rotations.
    Good job! you seem to be a very hard working girl.
