My Journey To Nursing

First Aid Training
This first aid training marked a pivotal moment in my journey toward becoming a nurse. I’ve always felt a strong desire to be prepared for situations where I might be able to make a real difference, whether it’s in an emergency or a simple everyday situation. Learning these skills was both exciting and empowering, as it gave me the confidence to step in and help when it’s needed most. This experience deepened my passion for patient care and reinforced my commitment to gaining knowledge that can save lives and bring comfort to others.

Volunteering at the Hospital
Volunteering at the hospital was a profoundly eye-opening experience for me. I had the opportunity to assist patients with their needs, offering a sense of comfort during what could be some of their most difficult moments. It was a beautiful yet emotionally heavy experience, one that deeply impacted me and reinforced my desire to become a nurse. Helping others in such a meaningful way was incredibly rewarding, and it solidified my passion for patient care. This experience taught me the importance of compassion, empathy, and the significant role nurses play in the lives of their patients.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Freshman Year Transcript
This transcript is from my freshman year in Jeddah, a time when I was initially aiming for a career in medicine but wasn’t accepted into the program. Looking back, I believe this was a blessing in disguise. It helped me discover my true calling in nursing, where I feel I can make a more personal and meaningful impact. This experience motivated me to pursue nursing with even greater passion and determination. It’s a reminder that sometimes setbacks guide us toward the path we’re meant to take.

My Best Friend Sarah
This is my best friend, the person who has been by my side through every step of this journey. She was the first to suggest I consider nursing, and her encouragement helped me see the potential in this path. We’ve always supported one another, especially during challenging times, providing comfort and strength when it was most needed. I can always rely on her, just as she can rely on me, and together we navigate life’s ups and downs. Her belief in me has been a cornerstone of my growth, and I’m grateful for the way we push each other to find what’s best for ourselves and each other.

This milestone wasn’t just mine; it was a shared victory that brought us closer together and strengthened my determination to succeed in this journey.

Family Cruise in Jeddah
This was our last family cruise around Jeddah before I left for Canada to start my education and carve out my path to success. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with excitement for the journey ahead but also a deep appreciation for the time spent with my family. That evening reminded me of their unwavering love and support, which continues to inspire me as I pursue my dreams. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to one chapter of my life and step into the next with hope and determination.
