As a health reporter, I m always reading scholarly research articles. A quick journal search reveals an ever-increasing number of studies on the health benefits of gardening. But I knew that getting my hands dirty in the soil was good for my mind and body long before I started reading and writing about it. Gardening helped me cope with the COVID-19 situation, and now I m a huge advocate of inspiring others to grow things.

Michelle Dever knew at a young age that she wanted to help people. She was just 10 years old when she discovered her passion for health care.
That was the summer her cousins were in a motor vehicle accident.
Dever and her family had just moved to Bismarck from Billings, Montana, when the tragedy occurred. Her cousins, recent high school graduates, were hospitalized in Bismarck making her family some of the closest living relatives to the hospital where the teenagers were recovering from their injuries.
âOne of my cousins had a spinal injury and the other had serious head injuries,â Dever said.

Onam Liduba has overcome many obstacles in his quest to become a nurse. The 43-year-old was born in southern Sudan where he was displaced by civil war as a youth. He lived in many refugee camps before gaining asylum in the U.S. in 2000. In 2001, he was placed in Chicago and nine years later he moved to North Dakota where he has worked as a certified nursing assistant and licensed practical nurse.
âI came to the USA as a refugee, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan,â said Liduba. âThe Lost Boys are a group of boys and girls who were separated from their parents by war. We walked hundreds of miles in search of safety to different countries and finally to Kenya and then to the USA in 2001.â
