I chose to become a nurse since I love taking care of others, especially the sick.

BACKGROUND
I grew up with a single mother and four siblings in a suburban area in central Uganda. My mother provided for our needs through her job as a small scale retail shop attendant. My school fees were paid partly by my mother, the church and a few relatives. Sometimes I have to work to contribute to my school fees by making and selling candles.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I chose to become a nurse since I love taking care of others, especially the sick. I also noticed a gap in service delivery, especially to the adolescents and teenagers in terms of reproductive health needs. I want to be able to try and bridge that gap for better health service delivery. My dream job would be a job in the public service because such jobs are pensionable and are accompanied with retirement benefits. I would love to work with teenagers and adolescents in the reproductive health sector.
INTERESTS
I love music and dancing, and I am really good at it. Besides dancing, I love hanging out with friends and family, taking walks and visiting new places by foot.
