Grandmother stories

From: Nur Adira, Pri 5, Woodlands Primary School

There is an older family member whom I enjoy spending time with — my mother. She was very playful when she was young and as a result, did not do well in school. She only understood how important education was when she was studying in ITE.

While working as an enrolled nurse at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, my mother worked diligently and performed well at her workplace, earning herself a sponsorship by Tan Tock Seng Hospital to pursue a diploma in Nursing. Now that she has obtained a diploma in Nursing, she is keen to further her studies at the National University of Singapore.

I love her very much as she is always working hard for the family. She has shown me what it means to have determination and perseverance. I hope to be like her when I grow up.
