said my bewildered colleague when I told him why I was leaving my job in Sapporo.
"Uh yes, I know."
Is nursing right for me? Who knows. All I know is that I want to help people. I am focused and I will try my best.
Here's my story:
I wanted to do nursing when I was younger: My mum's a nurse, my aunts are nurses, my friend's parents are nurses- of course I wanted to do it, I didn't know any different.
However, I hate being influenced by other people. Which is why I decided to become a journalist.
After studying media and Spanish and living in Spain, I went through various journalistic jobs and hated them. I decided to study human biology part time whilst working and loved it. I thought maybe I should become a physiotherapist. I did some placements but didn't feel fulfilled. I liked healthcare, but didn't know which area I liked. I moved to Japan for two years to think it over.
Just over one year ago I told my brother I wanted to be a nurse. I expected him to behave like most people did, and disappove but he turned to me and said 'Ok. Whatever you decide, chose it and stick with it.' He made it all seem so simple.
I now believe that nursing was right for me all along. I just took a little bit longer than most people to realise it. I left Japan one month ago. I start my course in two days.
I should stop being so stubborn.
