Thalia Nicoll Mallqui True - Nursing

This is my fruit story: 

Hello, I hope you are all well. It has been almost two years since I benefited from this scholarship. I am now starting the fourth cycle of my nursing career.

I'll tell you a little about my experience. When I first learned that I would receive the scholarship I wanted so much, I felt very excited and happy because it was a new stage for me.

Entering university was difficult, especially adjusting between my work and studies. I have been volunteering for five years in the Peruvian Navy and thank God the Navy permits me to study.

Being at university has given me incredible experiences, even amid difficult situations in my personal life. There are many things to say, but I just want to thank you for the opportunity to access a university career. This is more so because I know that this is like a big tree that grows and, in time, will bear and harvest fruit for my family.

Thalia

Thalia is one of our young people who has spent the most time at Esperanza de Ana. During this year, she has gone through difficult situations regarding her health, giving her false diagnoses, which greatly affected her emotional state and that of her family.

Faced with the different tests she has presented, she constantly seeks help, guidance, and orientation from Esperanza de Ana since she indicates that in this place, she feels safe, listened to, loved, and comforted; they give her hope and belief in her.

It is a great blessing to see how Thalia becomes a leader and influences her peers. At the May EA youth camp, we saw the leadership she assumed in the group she was assigned to, organizing, encouraging the other young people, and establishing order.
