To start off, I am now in my Third year in this program and to better know me, this program
was not really existing in my list of choices. Since I graduated Highschool, I had one goal in mind
and that was to become an architect until I reached senior high school. It all changed when I
encountered a subject in STEM—biology. Not because I was good at it at first but because I was
really bad at it. I didn’t like how It was hard for me to cope with the subject. I think it was one of
the factors that led me here today. I didn’t like failing or being behind everyone so I studied it
so hard that my teacher was somehow impressed with how my grades turned out.
That’s when I realized, I love learning biology that I’d dreamed to be someone who studies
biology on a deeper extent. On the day of picking out schools and programs to enroll in, my
senior high school friends told me that they will be taking up Nursing—and I enrolled too.
As months passed that I am now in this program I have come to big realizations about myself. I
wanted to be someone who is so good at her chosen profession so that I can be someone
people can trust and rely on. I wanted to become a great giver of care. I wanted to become
happy in this profession.

I still love art, like painting, or scribbling lines down my notebook or designing whatever. But
there are things that I have come to dislike too, I dislike pretentious people, I don’t like how its
so hot outside, I don’t like being left out in conversations, and I don’t like failing. Just as how I
am disappointed with myself that I didn’t get in on the honor’s list last academic year.
Now that this is a fresh start of my second semester, I’d want to give my best. Even if, I get so
lazy or demotivated easily, feeling loss, but I hope that I can regain once more my spark in
learning. I believe in the saying, “fake it till you make it till its true” though most people would
not, but I do. I always think that I just Have to do my part everyday until I eventually love it and
love it for real. There is nothing that motivated me to do my best but seeing my self in the

future. I want to become the best me in the future. I want to be a proficient nurse someday
or someone great at what she does.
