For many, the breakout of COVID-19 has led to long days stuck within their homes and an inability to go about normal life. However, for some, such as 2015 Temple women's soccer alum Alyssa Kirk, it has proven to be a calling for them to risk their own health to help others.
It was a few years before her enrollment in Temple Nursing School in 2011 that Kirk decided to enter the field of Nursing. "I have played sports for as long as I can remember, but I had only decided I wanted to become a nurse a few years before applying to nursing schools and being recruited" said Kirk.
