Hello, I am Patricia Rose Modlin, granted the privilege of being
MS Senior World, 2024. I have enjoyed a healthy, pleasurable
life, have realized most of my dreams and, because I have the
family history of long life, may have many more years to promote
my goals in life. |
|
A brief history of myself shows that I was born in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada, with life goals established at a very young
age. My mother was a Registered Nurse, and my wonderful aunt was
also a nurse, so it seems natural that my main goal was also to
become a nurse. My other predominate goal was to have babies. The
middle child, with two brothers, gave me the hero I needed to
guide me as I grew up, and the joy of caring for a younger child. |
|
My goal of becoming a nurse continued as I grew up, though
delayed a bit because I got married at the young age of 18, and
had two beautiful children. At age 23, I decided to go to college
to get my Registered Nurse Degree, after which I had my third
child. I was fortunate to get into a special program which
allowed me to get my Bachelors Degree. I was privileged to
continue my nursing career for many years, retiring in December,
2017. |
|
Nursing has given me not only the privilege of caring for other
people, helping to guide them through their illnesses and
recovery, but also the benefit of getting to know people of all
faiths, lifestyles, and cultures. Coming from a multinational
background myself, I feel a closeness with others that has helped
make me who I am. I have a grandfather who came to Canada with
the Hudson Bay Trappers, a grandmother who came from Sweden,
grandfather from Norway, some history of both Canadian and
American Native Indian. I have always felt that we are all
somehow interrelated. |
|
The past year has gone by quickly, but has given me the pleasure
of enjoying my role as MS Senior World, reaching out to,
hopefully, make others lives more enjoyable, eased their pain and
offered an opportunity to encourage them to set their own goals,
follow their dreams and to know they are special, whatever road
they are following.
