I wanted to keep a record of my life, I am 38 years old and am half way through a degree in adult nursing. I have had a colourful career prior to this, mechanic, plumber, travel agent....

On 9th May 2012 I will be one of 24 student nurses chosen from a list of thousands to take part in the Escorting of the lamp, a commemorative service which takes place in Westminster Abbey in London UK. The Abbey itself holds up to 2500 people and on previous ceremonies has been filled to capacity by various dignitaries and nursing patrons from around the world.
It is very humbling to be asked to do this as the main reason I went into Nursing in the first place was because I was unemployed and needed a job. Now I have been hand picked to represent Nurses from all round the world in this prestigious event.
Wish me Luck!
