"After secondary school, I received scholarships for my academics and immediately enrolled in University. In my last year of nursing school, I maintained a perfect GPA and graduated with honours. Many times during my clinicals, I received accolades from my instructor and peers for my positive attitude and ability to be a team player. I'm very proud of these achievements and will carry on this excellence within your organisation if given this opportunity."

"I've dedicated my career to pediatric care and have earned many speciality certificates in this area. I'm passionate about the work I do and am proud of an accomplishment that I earned two years ago. I was nominated and won an award for "caregiver of the year." This meant so much to me to be recognized by my patients and peers for my dedication to providing quality care to children in my community."
