For six years, I answered the call of compassion as a nurse in both Ethiopia and Lebanon, comforting patients in their times of need. However, now I would like to pursue a career as a sous chef, a new challenge which I am really excited about.
However, the reality of financial limitations has hit me hard. The cost of a crucial food hygiene course, the essential chef's uniform, a laptop for learning, and the means to travel to my impending job is weighing heavily on my aspirations.
Today, as I am about to start my job as a sous chef, I see that bringing together my caring nature as a nurse and my dream of being a chef shows the strong determination that has helped me reach this point. My journey highlights the strength of not giving up, the help from a caring community, and the incredible way dreams can truly come true.
I am hardworking, resilient and I am building the foundation for my future.
