I remember on my 7th birthday, I was particularly excited about one gift. It was a first aid kit toy. My relatives asked me multiple times if I was gonna be a doctor when I grew up, but I always said “No, I’m gonna be a nurse!”. They laughed, saying I was joking, but I wasn’t. I thought it was the best job in the world.

The day I got my acceptance letter to my dream college was… Bittersweet. I was over the moon, they didn’t accept many people and had the best nursing program, but then I received some bad news. I was celebrating with my parents at a restaurant, when my mom got up to answer a phone call. She came back to the table with tears in her eyes. My grandma was in the hospital. She had suddenly fallen ill. I was heartbroken and worried, but I turned these feelings into fuel. I had even more motivation to become a nurse now, because I wanted to be able to take care of my grandma.
