It does not stop with your undiscovered self untill you unlock the doorway and education is the key...

Joana Chikadza, Award winning Nurse of the year 2014

It might not sound so real that you can get to build a career in a specific discipline and be able to enjoy and make the best out of it especially if it was not of interest to you. Some of you may be following the footsteps of Joana Chikadza. You may be travelling the path that Joana trode and perharps,you may end up trailing a new path for others to follow just as she did. You are in secondary school and university is where your heart is or may be you are still in primary school  and you keep telling yourself of a career you would love to pursue.You might have known somebody in that field who inspired you,well that sounds fantastic.As of now there is no other discipline running in your head except that specific field. At the back of your mind,its all well set and you are convinced to be well informed of the Lawyer, engineer, Doctor,or Administrator you are to be in years to come. You are not the first one to wear the shoes of such a dream, it was the same with Joana, from her secondary school days at Nkhamenya Girls secondary school, She already saw herself as an accountant. She never thought she could be a nurse,she never really heard alot about nursing, to her nursing was so feminine and not queit challenging a career,she viewed it to be a passive profession. Family, teachers and friends had already fuflfilled their role in influencing her to pursue accountng as part of their support.

Upon completing secondary education,Sitting for university entrance examination as a Malawi secondary school leaver was not a big deal for Joana.It was to her a doorway to being an accountant. As the results were announced , Joana ended up at Kamuzu college of Nursing, a constituent college of The University of Malawi to study nursing. It was untill then that she got to discover her career path and the best nurse she was being built into,it was time she got to know that dreams could not always turn up the way you see them,what matters the most in a career is the difference you make in your own life,society and beyond.She testified that education has the power to honor you and introduce you to places where you get to know of the true difference you can make at the end of everyday.Today 25 year old Joana Chikadza is one of  the most passionate nurses one would meet, She completed her university education and came out with a Bachelors degree in Nursing.She has embraced her skills and knowledge working for four years as a nurse.

Passion and determination led Joana to be the award winning Nurse of the year 2014. Remember, back then, nursing was never a field she saw herself in, today, education has shaped her to be a happy and inspiring nurse and she does say that, there is nothing to do with being female in order to amount to something in life and no career is feminine,each has its own way of challenging you as an individual not as a woman or man."I believe that God created no man or woman to be average,we all are entltled to excellency,Create that self image of a champion and know that you are a victor not a victim." says Joana as she pass out a message to girls to stay in school and get a chance to learn of different career opportunities." If you never end up being the teacher you see yourself in two or more years time,there is still room for you to make a difference in the Journalist you can become,it does not stop with your undiscovered self untill you unlock the doorway and education is the key.God never make mistakes trusts His plans."
