Sharing a story

Yesterday's Philadelphia Daily News published an oped by Shayla Morales Robinson, a gradaute of the La Salle Nursing BSN Achieve program, designed for working nurses to earn a degree. Shayla overcame many obstacles to graduate, and wrote a letter of thanks to the School of Nursing for al the help and encouragment she received. One of her professors, Kristen DeLay, sent me the letter, and I thought it might work as an oped. Shayla worked with me on a few drafts and it was published. Kudos to her for not only earning her degree, but she made it a point to stress in the piece that women in abusive relationship can leave and achieve their dreams.

Here's a link to the piece:
