The Inspiring Story of Hitomi Oka – Marian College's International Alumni from Osaka, Japan.
Hitomi's story is a testament to the power of determination and perseverance. After receiving the MVP award during her International Rugby Program (IRP) placement at St Bede's College in August 2019, she completed a year and a term of studies at Marian College. Despite not repeating a year, she passed all her NCEA exams and graduated with her peers. This remarkable accomplishment is a reflection of her intellect and work ethic.
Hitomi fully immersed herself in Marian College life, maintaining a balance of academics, athletics, and social events. She credits her study-abroad experience for reminding her of the importance of family, and expresses gratitude to her incredible teachers, host family, friends, and the IRP community.
Her pursuit of nursing studies in Hamilton demonstrates her passion for helping and caring for others. Nursing is a challenging yet rewarding profession that requires a combination of critical thinking, technical skills, and compassion.
Given Hitomi's past successes, we are sure she will continue to make great strides in her future endeavors.
