cheers to the new nurse!
February 3, 2010Last year, speaking of missing celebrations, I recounted the story of my kinakapatid who took 10 long years before finishing college, starting from engineering and ending with nursing. Well, this year, I am just so proud of him! He is now finally a registered nurse! Yey! He used to be (and still kinda is) so preoccupied with barkada, alcohol and women that education didn’t seem to fit in his list. Now, he is a certified nurse! I asked him if he’d work right away, as I thought he’d want to try working since most of us his age are already working and supporting ourselves. But he told me that he’d study for NCLEX first and for the English tests or maybe take some other medical coding training courses. Tuloy tuloy na kumbaga.
I just admired him for his perseverance. This he did even after he seemed to have “lost” his way. He found his way back, when he decided to look for it. This is what makes him special among other graduates. I find inspiration in him. No matter how long he had been out of track, he was still able to find his path.
