Shondi Woods
I am currently enrolled in the Nursing Program at Bermuda College, earning my degree of Science in Nursing. Nursing is a very noble profession and is very important to the community service. I think my main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from a natural desire to help people and care for them in times of need. Knowing that every day I'll get a chance to make a difference in people's lives, and to help them know that they matter means a lot.

After having been an educator in the Bermuda public school system and the United States for nine years, I decided to have a change in careers. I am currently enrolled in studying Nursing at Bermuda College. I am eager to absorb myself into Bermuda's healthcare system to learn a wealth of knowledge and skills so that I am fully equipped with the appropriate skill sets as I advance in my nursing career. Being educated at Bermuda College will aid me with this journey. Becoming a nurse has always been a goal of mine. I have always had a desire to work in healthcare. Since having my daughter and caring for her on a daily basis, as she has Cystic Fibrosis, I have had the drive to pursue this lifelong goal.

I am a part-time student at Bermuda College taking courses in the sciences in order to reach my goal of becoming an orthoptist. This profession deals mostly with children (as well as some adults) and involves evaluation and nonsurgical treatment of eye disorders. I discovered it through a lot of research into healthcare careers and love the idea of working with people and helping them, as well as working with the amazing human eye. Although I have a bachelor's degree already, I have studied everything but biology until now! I find these topics really engaging and only wish I'd realised this passion sooner.
