Hey everyone!

I guess I just need some uplifting words.
I moved to Canada on my own about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I have been working a variety of different jobs (mainly retail) and working on becoming fully fluent. One of the main reasons I moved so far away(I’m from Europe) is my relationship with my family. My parents have been extremely abusive for many many years and I just had to get out and move far away. Besides that, I met my amazing partner who lives here with me and we have since started to build a life together.
Because my teenage years were so filled with trauma and abuse, I wasn’t able to pursue a career or work on my education as much as I would have wanted to.
Now to my main question: is it too late for me to start college/ University and become a nurse?
I have always wanted to become a nurse and feel ashamed that I am not where I want to be yet, even though I know that a lot of it was not in my control.
I have started medication for my mental health a few weeks ago and also have had a few therapy sessions to work on the root causes for my struggles.

Thank you to anyone replying to my post!
