Success! How Ms. K Regained Her Courage
Ms. K is originally from Kenya and has been living in Vienna for around 10 years. When she contacted ProFuture, she was in her final semester of a bachelor's degree in healthcare and nursing. She had never been so close to her dream, but she faced seemingly insurmountable challenges with her bachelor's thesis. Ms. K was suffering from extreme writer's block, a negative self-image, and strong emotional outbursts. In despair, she decided to drop out of the program.
Feeling overwhelmed, she reached out to ProFuture counseling. In conversations with the social counselor, she was able to share and discuss her worries, which noticeably relieved her. Her fear of failure was also addressed, revealing its origins and helping her to reduce it. Through collaborative, resource-oriented work with her ProFuture consultant, Ms. K experienced self-reflection and empowerment and regained her courage. With newfound motivation, she successfully completed her bachelor's thesis and her degree. This was a big achievement and a strong start for Ms. K in her professional life.
