educated her, where she learned Italian, German, and French. Florence was active in
helping weak and ill people. She approached her parent and told them she wanted to be a
nurse, but her parent was not pleased. At 17 years, she declined her marriage proposal to
pursue her calling. Nightingale was able to enroll in nursing school despite her family's
reservations.
