J. Almonte
My name is Jocelyn Almonte. I was born and raised in the Philippines.
Youngest of the three daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Reynaldo Almonte. I
moved here in California in 1994. On March 1994, I started to work at
St. Francis Convalescent as a Dietary Helper. In September, I took a job as a nursing aide at R.O.P. On Fall 1995, I started to go to College of San Mateo.
My Professor in Anatomy showed a Respiratory Therapy brochure to
the class. That's how I found out about the program in Skyline College.
I became interested in the program because back in my country
cardiopulmonary problems are one of the most common diseases. Also, my father's brother has a tuberculosis.
I want to gain knowledge and learn about this field so I can share and help to educate people back home. I also became interested in the program because I want to work in the hospital setting. For me, helping patients, seeing them improve, and making friends are the priceless rewards that we can get.
