Nova Scotia Nurses Award
My story is one of resilience, cultural diversity, and an unwavering passion for making a
positive impact on the lives of others. Born in Canada and raised in Kuwait, I was fortunate to be
exposed to a multicultural society from a young age. Growing up, I witnessed the power of
compassion and unity in bridging the gaps between different cultures and communities. This
exposure ignited my desire to contribute to society and uplift those in need, regardless of their
background. When I returned to Canada in 2018, I witnessed the remarkable impact that
healthcare professionals had on the lives of individuals and communities. The selflessness and
dedication exhibited by nurses, in particular, left a lasting impression on me. Their ability to
provide not only medical care but also emotional comfort to those in need inspired me to
pursue a career in nursing. My passion for providing care and compassion to others had always
been a driving force in my life, and I knew that nursing would allow me to channel these
qualities into a meaningful career. The prospect of making a positive impact on the lives of
others and being a pillar of support during challenging times continues to fuel my passion for
nursing. I am excited about the diverse range of career opportunities that nursing offers, from
working in hospitals and clinics to community health. I look forward to contributing my skills,
knowledge, and dedication to the healthcare profession and the well-being of my community.
