Notes de l'éditeur
- PERSONAL STATEMENT – Student Advisor - ROSEMARIE PATTERSON I am marvelously and wonderfully created. I am only one person, but I wear many hats. I am a counselor, teacher, behavior changer, team player, administrator, minister and an advocate for children’s rights. My life is like a book full of mystery, excitement, fascination, passion, and dreams. I was born to be a listener, teacher, inventor, writer, and peace maker. Even at the age of five the dream of sharing myself and creativity was blooming inside of me. I had my own world of make believe. I taught myself how to read and do math by using my brothers’ schoolbooks. I invented my own school. I would place my dolls on the stairwell inside of my home and read to them. My classroom was diverse; I had Ken, Barbie, Chatty Kathy, dolls that walked, crawled, dolls that were big, dolls that were little, dolls that would drink a bottle, and wet, and dolls that looked like me. At first I pretended to be their mother, or sister, and then their teacher. I wrote stories in a personal journal. I became a very creative story teller. My favorite essay was about 21 Kittens. I gave all the kittens a name because they were part of my family. It was so vivid and descriptive that my teacher called my parents to ask if my story was true. I was so proud of that story, it was my masterpiece. Yet, as I matured, I became interested in having relationships with real people. I became a volunteer. I volunteered in a military hospital as a young American Red Cross worker. Yes, I wore the blue and white striped uniform at the age of 15. I spent hours in the pediatrics department which one day changed my life completely. I saw something that the public was not allowed to see. I saw a premature baby girl that weighed less than two pounds. I was amazed to see life so small which could exist in the palm of one hand. That was it; I knew then my purpose in life was to become a nurse and help people. Yet, as I grew older my life made a detour. My passion still was to help others, but in the wrong way. I became the designated driver; a leader which helped con parents; a single parent; a scapegoat; and very co-dependent young person. It was not until I went to Tacoma Community College that I learned the correct way of “helping”, and how to change my own life. Through my college career at Argosy University, I demonstrated and perfected the knowledge that I learned through course studies and written papers. This passion of helping actually grew and manifested itself in the various employments that I obtained. I worked for various organizations for profit and nonprofit. I worked as a case manager for underprivileged women in the Adult Workfirst Program. I became a computing trainer for the Boeing Company. I became an Intern, Emergency responder, and then promoted to Disaster Specialist for the Pierce County American Red Cross. As a first responder I am prepared to assume responsibility when others have failed to act. I became an entrepreneur; gained experience in organization and management. I am currently employed as an Independent Health Care Worker helping persons with disabilities cope with day to day living. I have managed to successfully obtain my education while working a 35 hour work week. I am currently involved with a group of women at the Pierce County Housing Authority called FSS. We are being trained to become mentors and lead other women toward a life of successful living. Now the path in which my life has taken me is one of service, mentorship, and giving. The many experiences I have in helping people work through life’s traumas and disasters have motivated me to fulfill my purpose in life. I have children that are mentally challenged, and one son that was murdered, therefore working with grief issues, hardships are a strong talent that I possess. I am prepared to assume responsibility when others fail to respond. In the future, I plan to work in the counseling and mental health field within the educational facilities. August 2010, I will complete my online education from Argosy University-Phoenix with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I am in the top 10% of my class graduating with a 3.76 grade point average. I am a member of the National Collegiate honor society. I am interested in working for Tacoma Community College because my passion is helping others. I have previously obtained my Human Services Certificate, worked in the Math department, and the Workfirst program that assisted women and men with many opportunities to become students and or obtain employment within the community. I am prepared to continue my education and obtain my Masters Degree in Psychology while working at the College. I would like to return to the college as a professional Student Advisor, and give back to my alma mater and community. I believe in the stance of achievement and excellence: I believe in turning dreams and passions into reality. I believe that Tacoma Community College will embrace the many talents, achievements, and accomplishments that I bring to the campus environment.

- I am a lifelong learner and it all started when I was a child. I was born to be a listener, teacher, inventor, writer, and peace maker.

I have children that are mentally challenged, and one son that was murdered, therefore working with grief issues, hardships are a strong talent that I possess. Every experience that I engulf, I learn a lesson in which I store in my memory. When I come upon a situation that is difficult, I draw upon the knowledge that I have stored in my mind. I am a lifelong learner and I am willing to educate myself repeatedly grasping new concepts and models to follow. What is so good about being a lifelong learner is that I still have the energy and desire to help others get to the stage of life that I embellish.
