Ciao Bella !

This beauty was in my makeup chair this past week .

It is always so special watching young women achieve greatness.

Ive known Bella since her mid teens , she always told me she wanted to do Nursing as her career path.

Now here she is as a fully qualified enrolled nurse. After 18months of hard work and study.

Nursing takes care, softness,compassion and endurance, all of which this beautiful lady has in ten fold.

Congratulations on your graduation Bella!
