By Bonnie Mendes | Project Leader
My name is Sara, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Despite the financial challenges faced by my family, I worked hard to complete both my Matric and Intermediate education with good academic results. From an early age, I have been passionate about serving others, especially those who do not have access to proper healthcare facilities.
My father has always been the main source of support for our family and has worked tirelessly to ensure that I could continue my education. Unfortunately, due to severe back problems, he is no longer able to work regularly, which has placed a heavy financial burden on our household. As a result, managing my tuition fees, books, transportation, and clinical training expenses has become extremely difficult.
I chose the nursing profession because I want to care for people with compassion, respect, and dedication. Nursing is not only my career goal but also my desire to make a positive difference in the lives of patients and families who are suffering. I remain committed to completing my degree and becoming a responsible healthcare professional who can support both my family and community.
Receiving an SHD scholarship would greatly reduce my financial difficulties and allow me to focus fully on my studies and clinical training without constant worry about expenses. This support would encourage me to continue working hard toward achieving my educational goals.
After completing my degree, I hope to serve in underprivileged communities and organize health awareness sessions in my village, particularly for women and children who often lack basic health education. I believe that education and healthcare together can bring meaningful change to society.
I am sincerely thankful to Mr. Chris and SHD for considering my application and for supporting students like me who are striving to build a better future through education and service.
