Something that really means a lot to me.

I want to say that I don’t think I’d be going into nursing if it wasn’t for my involvement in a club at my high school known as Zonta club. I was in Z-club for two years, and it opened my eyes to the sufferings of those in the third world. Our club raised thousands of dollars ($20,000 alone in 2008) for World Vision by hosting the 30 hour famine at our school. Never have I felt greater than when I knew I was making a difference.
I want to remind everyone that nursing opens the doors for us to work directly in areas such as Sudan, Zambia, Kenya, Sri Lanka, etc. Areas that are in desperate need of healthcare attention and education.
My ultimate goal is to join an organization such as Doctors without borders or WHO once I’m out of school and have had some experience in Canada. I really think that you should watch the video I have embedded into this post, because it really touches my heart. We are the future of nursing, and I think everyone should take a second to think and reflect on this.

That was just a wonderful post and video.
I think it is amazing that as such a young age you have already made a difference in so many lives.
