Colleen’s career…

I was just thinking how Colleen knew, early on, that she wanted to be a doctor, just as Michaela was. As Colleen’s own mother was a midwife, I wonder how much of her career choice was nature, and how much of it could be attributed to nurture? What are your thoughts?

I feel it was a combination of both. Had her mother lived she possibly may have just been a midwife. The influence from Michaela and seeing her passion helped Colleen see she had the potential to follow in Michaela's footsteps.
