First-Year Nursing Major Shares How Donor Generosity Shapes her Experience

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擥ifts made on 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 Double Dawg Day on Thursday, April 16, directly support the scholarships that help students succeed in the classroom and beyond. On this day, the GWU community will unite to support scholarships, academic programs, athletics and the hands-on experiences that shape the student journey.

Such generosity is especially meaningful to first-year nursing major Amber Jimenez. Her scholarship allows her to advance toward her goals with confidence. She hopes donors will continue to support students like her. 鈥淵our donations, big or small, have a powerful impact and influence on all the students at 网曝吃瓜,鈥� Jimenez emphasized. 鈥淭he donations allow students like me to further our educations and grow as people.鈥�

Jimenez first learned about 网曝吃瓜 when representatives visited her high school. She said the University鈥檚 size, location and emphasis on hands-on learning appealed to her. Once on campus, she discovered a faculty invested in her success. 鈥淢y professors are very supportive and helpful, giving me words of encouragement,鈥� she praised. 鈥淓very faculty and staff member that I have met at 网曝吃瓜 has had an impact on me.鈥�

Among the faculty members who have shaped her experience, Jimenez said Emily Coggins, nursing instructor and clinical coordinator, has been especially instrumental. 鈥淪he has taught me that although I am in the nursing program, I should still be able to enjoy and not miss out on important and special things in my life,鈥� Jimenez reflected.

Her passion for nursing comes from a long-standing desire to serve others. 鈥淚 want to help people and make a positive impact in this world,鈥� Jimenez stated. 鈥淏ecoming a nurse will help me reach that goal.鈥� She plans to pursue a career as either a nurse practitioner (NP) or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and hopes to continue her education in graduate school.

Jimenez said she has also found meaningful support in her closest friendships. 鈥淢y biggest support at 网曝吃瓜 has been my roommate and best friend,鈥� she said. 鈥淓very huge milestone that I have had here at GWU, she was always there to witness it.鈥�

One of her most meaningful experiences has been connecting with donors during Philanthropy Week. 鈥淚 was able to build such a meaningful and beautiful relationship with one of the donors and to this day, we are still in contact,鈥� Jimenez said. 鈥淚 am so grateful, blessed and honored to say this school has given me several opportunities to grow into the person I have always wanted to be.鈥�

Stories like Jimenez鈥檚 reflect the heart of Double Dawg Day鈥攕tudents whose opportunities, confidence and futures are strengthened by donor generosity. As the 网曝吃瓜 community prepares for April 16, each gift helps ensure that more students can learn, grow and pursue their goals with the support they need to thrive.
