Wanting to make a difference
At the funeral of her father, Norma made a promise that she was going to do her best to look after her brothers and sisters and help her mother out. She was going to do something with her life that was going to help people. The death of her father inspired her for her future career.
She knew that she wanted to go into the medical field. If she studied hard and got to work in a hospital, she would be able to help people and make sure they are well again to go back to their families. She didn’t want what happened to her to happen to any other small child.
