Ms. Cheng's Inspiring Journey of Transformation and Selfless Service

Ms. Cheng, a former accounting clerk, decided to switch careers at the age of 55. Inspired by her experience assisting doctors at the Singapore General Hospital, she enrolled in a two-year nursing course at the Institute of Technical Education. Despite feeling out of place among the younger students, she enjoyed their energy and felt rejuvenated by their presence.

During her studies, Ms. Cheng witnessed the death of a young construction worker, an experience that deeply impacted her and solidified her commitment to life. Her first few months as a nurse were stressful and hectic, but she persevered with the mantra "just keep moving."

Ms. Cheng was later offered a position at Jurong Community Hospital, where she worked until the COVID-19 pandemic. At the age of 64, she was transferred to the COVID-19 ward, where she cared for infected patients despite her own concerns about getting infected. She felt a strong sense of responsibility and was supported by her daughter throughout this challenging time.

Her story doesn't seem realistic. Is this just clickbait?

This story is too sugarcoated. I bet there were a lot of difficulties she's not mentioning.

She's a role model for all of us, proving that age doesn't define who you are.

55? Too old to be starting a new career! Should've stuck to accounting.

She should've considered volunteering instead. No need to risk her life for a job.

I don't think young nurses will respect an older colleague. This will create problems in the workplace.

Nursing is a demanding job. I doubt she can handle the physical and mental stress at her age.

It's never too late to learn and grow. Her story shows it's possible to reinvent yourself.
