May 30, 2023 – CBC PEI: Zheny Angeles had put her dream of a health-care career on hold for a long time, but on Monday she officially marked the end of a long journey, graduating from Holland College’s licensed practical nursing program.
Angeles, who is 46, was in the class of 2023 at the college’s Summerside campus.
She actually passed her accreditation exam earlier and had already been working shifts at Prince County Hospital, but she was “walking on clouds” when she put on the gown and walked across the stage to graduate.
“I had this dream and it came true. I did it!” she said. “I’m so thankful and grateful for all these blessings that have come my way.”
Her husband Eleazar and son River were in the crowd watching her accept her diploma.
“It’s a great thing that she pursued her dream,” said Eleazar Angeles. “She is doing what she wants now.”
