3. How did Rizal inspire you as a student?
Jose Rizal is such an inspiration to Filipinos especially to the youth. His life and works somehow shaped me to simply be a good citizen and a good student. We all know that Rizal was not just a simple Filipino nationalist but he was also a great journalist, poet and an ophthalmologist. He excelled at anything he puts his mind to and this characteristic of Rizal inspires me to also be good in everything that I do. I want to really get out of my comfort zone and grasp a lot of opportunities. His works made me understand his love for our country and as a nursing student, I also want to apply his values and beliefs in serving my countrymen. Rizal inspires me to study harder in order to be a great nurse someday. By studying harder, it will not only make me a registered nurse but also a competent one. I genuinely want to serve many and give them quality care in the future. With Rizal being a great writer, also inspired me to be to be good in literature. Since my junior high school years, we have been reading a lot of Rizal’s novels and I remembered owning a little notebook with a lot of compositions of mine. I wrote a lot of song compositions, poems and simple stories. He embodied everything of what the Filipino can be. His principles and ideologies inspired me as a student nurse to serve our country first. His God- fearing heart also helps me to be humble in my own way and to always put God in everything that I do. 4. How Rizal show his patriotism?

He wanted us to remember all of the sufferings and sacrifices of Filipinos for us to strive for the better and to contribute to our society.
5. How does Rizal affect you as Filipino?
He wrote a lot of books and he used it to expose the real situation Filipinos was facing during his time. Having limited rights and the harsh rules of the Spaniards, how they wanted Filipinos to serve their country, made me want to become more socially aware of the happenings and issues our country is facing especially today. We all know that election is coming and part of being patriotic is to be politically aware. Rizal's love for our country made me want to be more informed politically. with all the issues our country is facing, our votes and the role we play has an impact on the decisions made. these decisions affect our future as younger generations so we should be taking it seriously. Rizal was indeed a hero who showed that we can fight for our country without the use of aggression and I want this to be applied in the today's society. as elections heat up for 2022, many people fight each other just to show their full support to their desired candidate. For me, we should not come to this point, fighting wouldn’t do anything. Let’s just take our time and research to inform people by writing blogs and sharing reliable information to people. We should take advantage of the technology and cite as much credible sources we see online. Rizal was not a perfect person but I want to apply all his positive values and beliefs to my life. He was known for his God-fearing heart and I also want to always put God in everything that I do.
