Shimran Kishore graduates with joy
Pride and joy was evident on the face of Shimran Sylvia Kishore when she received her graduation certificate from the Fiji National University ( FNU). You could see it as she took photos in her graduation attire. Ms Kishore and 1640 other students who graduated last year could not have a traditional ceremony due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, these students can now pick up their certificates from the university’s Tamavua Campus until the end of this week. The 21-year-old graduated with a Bachelor of Medical Imaging Science from the University’s College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (CMNHS). “I am so proud of this day. Even though it is not the ceremony we prepared for, I am still honoured to receive this certificate as a physical representation of completing my studies,” she said.
“Three years of studies and sacrifices and today I get to celebrate and reflect on what I have achieved.”
An alumna of Rishikul Primary School and Rishikul Sanatan College, Kishore said she developed an interest in the field of medical imaging in high school.
“I would learn about this field through what I watched in movies or read on the internet and I decided to do more research as my passion grew,” she said.
“I was quite excited to find out that FNU’s CMNHS offered this programme and had no second thoughts about enrolling in this course after secondary school.”
Ms Kishore said having a nurturing and enhancing environment on campus made her university experience both educational and exciting.
“I had great lecturers and good friends,” she recalled.
Enrolment for Semester 1, 2021, is now underway.
