It's ALL about THE Passion!!!
They started out with close to 200... With a passing rate of only 40% each semester, the number of hopeful souls started dwindling down. Full of dreams, driven by the desire to help mankind, each one journeyed on... Braving sleepless nights, trading the only little time left for themselves to save others, only to wake up from a nap and start all over again. Last Thursday night, we witnessed only the BEST--all 31 remaining--starkly dressed in white, proudly standing tall... Welcome to the Nursing School's Pinning and Graduation Ceremony! My sister, Kathryn, was one of them...
Kathryn--fondly called "Kulot" in our family because of her adorable curls as a little girl, my ONLY sister--my little sister, one of my bestfriends, my maid-of-honor, the "cool" sibling, my shopping-buddy--is NOW a NURSE! There are no words to express how proud I am of her!!! Watching her last Thursday, I couldn't believe how much she's grown through her college years. Was this really the little girl I used to play with??? Those of you who are close to her, VERY WELL KNOW what she has gone through in the past... She has faced a lot of obstacles and despite all the hardships, she has proven to those who have caused her great pain that she has succeeded!!!
The speaker at last night's ceremony said... "Nursing is one of the most respected professions throughout history... Nurses truly touch the world, one patient at a time... All you nurses up here on the stage and down there in the audience, KNOW that it's not about the paycheck and it's definitely not about the work hours... It's about having that fire deep within to reach out and care for others... So, keep that fire burning because IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PASSION!"
Congratulations to the Nursing School Fall Class of 2006!
