Paediatric Nursing & Why It's Important To Me ♡♡♡

Growing up, I was in the hospital a few times. I barely remember those times, except being in tremendous pain and being afraid of being alone in a big hospital with all the beeping and alarms. It was scary, but the paediatric nurses were so kind to me. They stayed with me when I got especially sickly, and sat beside me with a comforting warmth as I cried. That warmth never left my side, even as I've escaped the hospital many years later.

That beautiful feeling of support, of someone understanding and caring about you despite not even knowing who you are, even if it was their job... it was something I could never forget.

Before then, I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember the papers they'd give you at school with that harrowing question of "What do you want to be when you're an adult?" and always leaving it blank.

But now, I want to give the love and warmth I felt, that confidence to survive to more children. I want to motivate them to push for a new life, a life they deserve to have, one full of all the joys this world holds. I want to go to other countries, and I want to spread that love wherever I go.

Sometimes, I'll admit, it feels too hard to accomplish. I've never been particularly talented or smart, and was an introvert who forcefully kept myself out of the spotlight. But even despite that, my determination to help others will never change. I will make it, I will become a paediatric nurse. And one day, maybe I'll inspire someone else to become one too.
