As I read and researched about Florence Nightingale and her nursing career, I noticed a number of personal traits throughout her life. In her earlier years, she was often thought of as “socially awkward” even though her family had socially-high status. I also realized that Nightingale was rebelliously conscientious in a way towards her family’s expectations of her and her own ambitions – she ignored the discouragements from her parents and continued in becoming a nurse anyway. She also possessed an evident bravery that was driven by her passion for her career to take on a life-threatening task as a nursing aid in the Crimean War. This showed that she was indefatigably diligent when it came to working tireless days in harsh working environments.
