I'm a nurse now for over 30 years. After I took care of my mother when she was dying, my father told me I made the right decision to pursue this course instead of performing. I just don't have the show-off type personality it takes to be a soloist. Even though I had the voice, I feel more comfortable in a chorus rather than as a soloist. So, probably destiny. I love being a nurse. Helping and healing makes me smile.
