Scholarship Stories

Arvetta Hart

ARVETTA HART

Registered Nurse

One of the more rewarding aspects of Arvetta Hart’s job as a Licensed Practical Nurse is the opportunity to form relationships across generations and see the difference good nursing care can make for residents and families. “I have the opportunity and privilege to work with people who have lived entire lives by the time I interact with them. The life experiences they’ve had and the lessons they’ve learned are invaluable. I have heard so many interesting stories and enjoy them all.” Arvetta finds it very rewarding to take care of residents while fulfilling her life’s destiny and journey as a nurse, which began at Ingleside at Rock Creek when she was 16. She was able to complete community service hours by assisting residents in wheelchairs, taking them to chapel services and meals, and reading mail to those with visual impairment. “I’ve been here for over 25 years and l love working here! I love the residents and the atmosphere of home.”

RIMSHA SABIR

Dining Team Member

Rimsha Sabir was quick to respond to opportunities. Recently, the Insider reported she received an award from the IKF Employee Education and Citizenship Fund to pay the filing fee for her citizenship application. On July 29 she became a U.S. citizen. What is the rest of her story? Her family came here from the beautiful Kashmir area of Pakistan two years ago. A friend told her that IKF as hiring servers for the Bistro. Meanwhile, her mornings are taken up with classes at Montgomery College. With scholarship support from the Employee Education and Citizenship Fund, she is taking courses to become a doctor. Her evenings are spent with study and homework; for relaxation she people and places. She has long been an observer of people, from happy children to people on the street, intrigued by physical ailments or life experiences and curious to find out more. Here are her own words of thanks to the IKF community: "This generous scholarship is not just financial aid... Being connected to Ingleside has enriched my life in ways beyond academia. The residents have (taught) me lessons that extend far beyond the classroom. Their stories of resilience, perseverance, and kindness have have spoken with residents who have faced immense challenges in their lives, yet they have managed to find joy and purpose in each day. Receiving this scholarship from such a distinguished community is particularly meaningful to me. I am inspired by the wisdom, experiences, and contributions of the senior residents, and I hope to carry forward the values of generosity and lifelong learning that you exemplify. Thank you once again for believing in my potential and for providing me with this incredible opportunity... I am determined to make you proud."
