As part of our series on making the most of your summer 2021 we invited students to tell us what they did last summer. Our time in college shapes us and helps us prepare for early graduate careers. Making the most of your summer is about getting a summer job (if possible) and critically it is also about exploring aspects of you that builds confidence, curiosity, courage and resilience that will help YOU as you develop your career. Stella Ohia is a final year Bachelor Nursing student (Mental Health) and is currently completing her final internship. Stella was on her placement last summer and she shares with us the challenges of working during Covid. She explains that she found herself taking the advice she gives to others and began taking more notice on her walks and being more creative with flowers that she picked along the way. Stella and her friends had 24 hours away in a hotel and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being pampered and dressing up for dinner even though it was only for one hour in the restaurant! Stella is also a spoken word artist and plans to continue her passion for this genre. Episode recorded 23rd March 2021.
