Hi Everyone! My name is Jessalyn Smith and I am also a
senior nursing student from Indiana Wesleyan University. Time is just flying by
and here we are the day before we fly out! I never expected to have the
opportunity to go to Kenya when considering options for this nursing practicum
but I am excited for the chance to adventure here with all of you. When I was
little, I aspired to be a pediatrician so that I could help sick children in
third world countries. Hearing my Grandma’s stories about her missionary days
in Kenya inspired me to think about options outside the United States. As I explored
career options, I decided that nursing would be a better fit for me because I
like the hands-on interaction with people, but I am still interested in working
with children. As I am now preparing for my senior year of nursing school, I am
thinking about the opportunities that may be available in the future. I am
looking forward to this trip because this is my first experience with medical
missions and we get to play with kids for two weeks! I am going on this trip to
see nursing in another way; the rest is in God’s hands…
Since the theme seems to be sharing some favorites or fun
facts, here are some of mine…
Hometown: Wixom, MI
Things I like: spending time with family and friends, the
color pink, the movie Mulan, biology, being outside, traveling, helping people,
peppermint tea, peanut butter and chocolate
Random Facts: my right eye is half blue and half green, I
would like to visit every continent in my lifetime and I am unfortunately a procrastinator!
Looking forward to meeting you all in Amsterdam!
