"I would want other people to know that I don’t give up. I am a fighter and my saying while I was here was failure is not an option. If I fail at something I try again until I get it right, until I achieve it, I don’t give up."

    I’ve met a lot of nice people, I’ve been able to help a lot of people. And being a nurse was just the next logical progression.

    My teachers they used to help me a lot because English is my second language and they really helped me with that and if there was something that I misunderstood they were always there to help me.

    Fortis education has made a big difference in my life because I didn’t really expect going this high, this level, and I actually am really glad I have made it this way.

    My experience at Fortis was rewarding. The schedule was perfect for me because as I said I am a mother so I had to continue working. My family thinks it’s awesome that an old lady went back to school and actually finished.
