Registered Nurse

The adjective, Phenomenal! comes to mind when I think of the 6 sisters below who all became nurses after being homeless. It is an incredible achievement which represents resilience. From experience, I have learned that in times of adversity, a supportive environment creates motivation, and leads to goals which propel one toward a purpose. This environment can be characterized as a superpower creating a strong bond with reinforcements nearly impenetrable. It is the equivalent of Vibranium found on the armor of my favorite Marvel fictional character, Black Panther. Just like Black Panther, the first line of defense is a shield used to provide the "best weaponry for battle." and therefore the ingredient to win against turmoil. See my article entitled " In Life, you must get through the worst before you get to the best." In short, Homelessness did not create a barrier or obstacle to becoming a valuable asset to their community, it created a challenge which can be viewed as an opportunity, to fight a war that is becoming more common among result is nothing short of Greatness. I see the sisters as royalty very indicative of the Royal blue scrubs. Their story in my mind is as a Historical achievement representing low-income Black women; one of the most highly discriminated socioeconomic classes. Read article below.
