Aspiring Pediatric Nurse

My name is Gift, and I am 14 years old. I joined Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in 2016. I live with my parents and five siblings. My hobbies are swimming and reading novels. My favorite novel is “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë. The novel revolves around two families and their intertwined lives. It explores complex emotions such as love, hate, and revenge.

Education

I look up to my mother who is currently leading a program called “True Care”. The program aims to assist teenage mothers who have left school by providing them with resources and support to achieve their goals and create a better future for themselves and their children. I am currently a student at St. Ann’s Girls High School. I enjoy playing badminton with my friends and sometimes engage in mathematics discussions during my free time. English is my favorite subject as it is a common language for people from diverse backgrounds.

My career goal is to become a pediatric nurse, inspired by Sister Elizabeth Kenny. She revolutionized polio treatment with exercise and heat therapy, ultimately helping children regain their mobility. I’m very passionate about working with children, which is why I’ve chosen this career path. In the future, I would love to visit IMG Worlds of Adventure and seek out thrilling experiences.

Transform a life.
