I go into my interview for my Surgical Tech program at Eastern Maine Community College so nervous that my stomach strts to cramp up. I enter the room and sit at teh far end of the table. I am introduced to two woman who I can no longer remmber the names of. I am asked so many questions that I felt like I was applying for a job instead of a program of study. I did not expect nor was I ready for what i was getting myself into. The woman strted asking questions about my medical background and my future plans as a surgical technologist. I answered the questions and then said my goodbyes hoping that I would be accepted.



I go in to wait for my interview for my Surgical Tech program at Eastern Maine Community College so nervous that my stomach strts to cramp up. I start to wonder if I am going to have to run to the bathroom with nervous gas or even get the poops before I am even called into the room. I enter the room and sit at the far end of the table. The table is long and rectangular. I am introduced to two women whose names were Barbara and Katie. I am asked so many questions that I felt like I was applying for a job instead of a program of study. One of the questions was, "what is the hardest decision you have ever had to make?" I said it was having a child at the age of ninetten while I was still in highschool. One of the woman kind of made a hmmm sound and kept looking at her paper. The other woman seemed to be writing down every word I said. I did not expect nor was I ready for what i was getting myself into. I think I expected to get into the program with no problem, due to my medical history and my pure commitment to the medical feild. The women started asking questions about my medical background and my future plans as a surgical technologist. I told them about being in the Army for eight years as a medical specialist and how much I loved every minute of it. I told them how I had been a CNA and an EMT for six years and really enjoyed taking care of people. I told them that I am a team player and yet can also succeed as a team of one. I also told them that I am a fast learner and learning new things allows me to gain the confidance I need in the medical field. I left the interview feeling rather good about how things went. When I said my prayers that night I prayed to God that if it is his will, I would get into the program. A few weeks later I recieved that dredded letter in the mail telling me that I was not accepted. I would be lying if I said I did not want to hurt the person whoo made that decision, but instead I will keep my head up and just keep trying.
