It is a very unsafe country.
I came to Kingston because my father lives here. He received me. Now there is my mother and my brothers who also had to migrate.
I hope to improve myself, give a good future to my family, and help many people in need. I have a little daughter. My great gift for her, I want to do my best to get ahead.

I obtained my associate degree in nursing many years ago and graduated with my bachelor's degree in nursing in June 2019. I continued without stopping for my Master of Science in Nursing Education. This journey has been long and challenging in that I continued my schooling during the pandemic.
I am now one semester from obtaining my dreams and goals to teach nursing. This scholarship helps to alleviate some of the financial struggles I have faced. I have always mentored new nurses throughout my career, and I look forward to inspiring the next generation of nurses."
