Director of Academy
We, human beings, the most intelligent creatures on earth are made as the crown of creation and designed for greater purpose and glory. The Holy scripture says,” God created man in his own image......... little less than the Angels”. The realisation of this status of man will lead him to discover the purpose of his life in the world. So life is a gift and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more of what the creator intended us to be. You become that possibility by learning, growing and becoming and this is the purpose of life and what the Almighty intended. As you pursue your higher education in the city of gardens in the institute of The Good Shepherd’s - realise, you are a special creation of God with unimaginable possibilities for expansion of horizons and extended hands of God to love and show care and concern to others; for the ultimate goal of education is to spark a pursuit of knowledge in the learners so that they keep on learning as they grow into whatever they choose to be. “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are”. There is an inner call that pushes you or create a desire or aptitude towards the realisation of the purpose for which you are born by choosing a career that helps you to blossom and become your dream. Nursing is one of the best decisions you can make in your life. Also it is one of the most challenging things you can do. Keep a positive attitude as you chase your dreams. Choose wisely - Listen to the inner call - make your life blessed. God bless you!
