Nursing Major
Kezina Garnett is a
graduate of Brooklyn Collegiate High School located in Brooklyn, New York.
While attending High School she participated in various programs such as
Redemption Youth Community Council, and The National Honor Society. She also
volunteered at Methodist and Downstate hospital. In the summer of 2010 she
volunteered at Methodist hospital located in Park Slope, Brooklyn where her
responsibilities consisted of feeding and carrying meals to patients, carrying
blood work to the lab, organized formulas on the shelves in pediatrics section,
and provide patients needs. She was recognized by The National Honor Society for
her academic accomplishments and high GPA. As a member of
Redemption Youth Community Council Kezina was provided the opportunity to
mentor and serve as a role model to sixth graders. She believes that the most
rewarding part as a mentor to sixth graders was being able to influence them to take their education
seriously because it can help expose them to greater and better places. Through
volunteering she discovered that it is good to give back to her community and the
exposure to numerous experiences has helped her to grow as an individual. In
2011, Kezina graduated from High School with an Advanced Regents Diploma and
has been honored with several citations for being an honor student in her graduating
class. Kezina currently attends New York City College of Technology where she
has been accepted into the nursing program. Through her college experience
Kezina has learned that “you should not get discouraged by your failures because
your failures only make you stronger”.
